I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Skillman, NJ) in Jan 2019
Interview
I received an email the day after applying saying I'd been chosen for a phone screen (5-6 questions; 30 seconds to prepare and 1 minute to respond). I made it past that round, so I came in for the first available superday they had.
The superday was roughly 5 hours long. They did an excellent job of making the process seem smooth and collaborative-- you weren't competing with the other people in the room. They split the group up into 2 teams and had us debate an article (seeing how you work in groups) for roughly 30-40 minutes. We then took a skills test on basic logic/reasoning (some stat, some coding) but they said it was moreso to get a sense of what team you would be most useful in if you got the offer. They then showed us around the office, and rotated us through a 1:1 mini-case (15 minutes with someone playing a manager role and another person evaluating you silently). The case was on a workplace processes chart and improving efficiencies. Lunch followed by an open panel with a few of the younger market data analysts (not evaluated, ask whatever you want).
A week later, I was contacted to set up a 30-minute behavioral skype interview with the manager of the team they thought I'd ideally work on. The entire interview process was managed very well, I was impressed and equally disappointed when I didn't receive an offer.

Question 1
What do you think you do in this role, the Market Data Analyst?
The interview wasn't well designed.
We were supposed to have 1 hour interview but I guess some main questions were left til the very end and we did not have enough time to cover those questions.
I rushed through their questions because I was busy that day. The interviewer did ask me if I wanted to stay and discuss more but I really couldn't.
So we were both left unsatisfied. I couldn't answer as well as I could, and I may appear as uninterested as I simply did not have the extra time for them.

Question 1
They gave a bunch of terminologies such as VWAP, market depth, order book etc and asked me to explain.
Not difficult but I had like 30 secs or less to answer each as we were running out of time.
Only took the video interview. There were 5 behavioral questions that you have time to prepare. Mainly focusing on your understanding of the company, why this position, and the relevant experiences that would make you a good candidate.

Question 1
Self-introduction and motivation.
Describe a data project you’ve worked on and the challenge you faced.
it was very quick. I got offer in less than a month. The interviewer was fine but later experience in the team was bad. Specifically ask what team you will get in.
