I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jan 2017
Interview
It was a telephonic interview and live coding on Hackerrank. Was first asked a few questions from the resume and then an algorithm problem to code. The interviewer was quite helpful in giving suggestions.

Question 1
Count the number of islands in a boolean 2d array.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
