      Financial Software Developer Interview

      2 Oct 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sept 2011

      Interview

      Gave my resume to a recruiter at a job fair, no phone screening. A week later I got called by a university career center employee to setup and on-campus interview for the next day. It was a 25 minute interview basically to make sure I didn't lie on my resume. A few hours after I got a call to setup another interview and scheduled it for the next day (they wanted it that afternoon). Second interview was 45 minutes and more technical, not to mention the two interviewers were worse. Basically it was a "Write this code while I play on my ipad" kinda interview. Both interviews were 2 on 1. Brush up on your C and C++, and know every difference. My primary language these days is Python, so they looked down on me in disgust.
