      News Interview

      Oct 15, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Athens, GA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Athens, GA) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      This was only a 15 minute interview at my university so it was difficult to explain how/why I would fit at Bloomberg. The interviewer was kind, but I knew very quickly that I wasn't the type they were looking for. They asked only 4 questions and said that the next step would be a test that was 20% financial/business and 80% writing skills. I didn't get invited to the next round but they were very quick in the turn around, which I appreciated.
