I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
1st round - chat with HR to understand my background
2nd round - 4 hours interviews about coding, design, chat with hiring manager
Questions are similar to hackerrank, focus on your algorithm which is rare used in daily work. Design is still on class level, not treasure on architecture design, not treasure candidate’s useful past experience and contribution. Quite disappointed and bad experience in the interview process.
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.
