I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
5 rounds of interviews. There's a hr round and several rounds with a senior engineer. It is mostly leetcode type and can vary depending on who is you interviewer. The people who conducted the actual coding portions were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
