Applied through campus recruiting. Had 2 technical interviews, then 1 round with HR. Last round was with some manager but idk what the significance of it was. Technical questions were typical Blind 75 questions, just gave them pseudocode and walked through my thinking.
Asked two leetcode mediums and why Bloomberg every round. Pretty straightforward and guide you through problems if you get stuck. Focus on explaining solution and arriving at an optimal solution. Three technical rounds, one HR, and one final hiring manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I was interviewing for them, around 4-5 rounds, which could be scheduled in the same days based on their availability. No OAs so I love it! Real engineers will evaluate you. Coding --> HR chat --> Engineering manager. Long process but great and supportive interviewers.
