I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Apr 2018
Interview
It was a 1 hour interview with 2 questions in an online hackerrank portal. The engineer asked questions and I have to code the solutions with the time complexities and space complexities he had in mind. He also asked about time complexities of various algorithms.
The questions were typical leet code medium level questions with some twists.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
search an element in an array with increasing and decreasing array elements in o(n) time
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
