I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
Bloomberg had come on campus. First round was conducted by 2 interviewers asking simple data structure questions linked list and tree. Second round involved a design question and puzzle. Last round was on site however, the managers were stuck asking irrelevant and stupid questions. All of them aimed at questioning the things not done by me. Asked me questions like if I ever have written code or just know theory. The experience was humiliating and felt like walking out of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why didn't you do internship? What is more important theory or coding? How would you select a job?
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
