I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New Brunswick, NJ) in Jan 2018
Interview
I had the screening at university job fair, which replaces phone screen(s). There they asked me the question to find the common ancestor in the binary tree. I just gave the outline of the process in 3-4 mins. He also asked a question from the resume. At end of the day, I was invited for technical interview by mail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the number of paths from top-left on the grid to a given cell. Leetcode question. In second part optimize it.
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
