I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jul 2020
Interview
I got the call to schedule the first round of phone interview. I was presented with a very easy problem and solved it without any problem and difficulty. The interviewer categorically said that "I am satified with your code. It looks good and works too".
I followed up the HM after a week of no response from their end and my status for this job position still being "Submitted", I was told that they are not moving forward with me. The HM wasted 1 week of my time. Being international time is of the essence to me as I only have limited no. of days to find a job and they tld me that they will not be considering me anymore only after I enquired from them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
replace every node in the BST with the sum of every node that is greater than or equal to it.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
