I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Johannesburg) in Oct 2015
Interview
Overall very friendly people. The interview has no structure so it depends on your interviewers and how you direct the conversation. The telephonic interview and the first round of interviews was fairly simple because I had very lively interviewers. The second stage was very technical and no behavioural questions were asked.
