I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
The initial phone interview was surprisingly very detailed and fairly technical, which I thought was a good thing. The call ended with the Bloomberg employee saying they would review with the hiring manager and let me know the next steps. However, 8 days later I had not heard anything back but got the automated email from their HR application portal saying the role was either cancelled or filled.
Worth noting this to all future applicants.
After reaching out, I did find out the role was cancelled. I would have thought that would be something which would have been proactively communicated to me (given the way the phone screen concluded) rather than me having to reach out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was surprised at the technical detail questions being asked for a phone screen with HR and thought that would have been something discussed once the conversation moved to one with hiring manager. That was a good surprise.
Four rounds, with a technical round. No more than an hour. Unfortunately not back to back which was honestly not ideal.
Interviewers were on time and nice about explaining what was coming.
There were several rounds of interviews, including exams, team interviews, and individual behavioral interviews, all for an entry level position. In total there were 5 separate evaluations that comprised the interview process. Questions weren’t difficult but process was tedious.
Interview with HR - just basic questions, they said they liked me, i was shortlisted, but i never heard back from them. Tried to contact but no response. But the lady interviewing me was nice.
