I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
I had applied online around September. Heard back in mid October.
Could make it through 3 rounds only, 1 HR, 1 Phone interview and finally 1 Video Conference interview with 2 Software Engineer from Bloomberg. The rounds were easy, but I have no idea as to why I got a rejection.
Phone interview had 2 problems, one was on strings, and other was on OOPs with follow-up questions on Concurrency, Scheduling, Hashing etc.
Video Conference Interview had just 1 question, on binary search on a function, in a 2D grid. I did it well in time, discussed multiple solutions for modifications of that problem (which I had by mistake assumed to be actual question in the beginning) and wrote a bug free code pretty quickly too.
I can't think of any other reason than they approaching the end of there hiring for summer internships.
I had : Hireview, phone calls, first manager interview, final round interview, another phone call of HR to say the manager really liked me, and I did great. 1.5 months later they told me they are looking for someone else. Told me they will send me information to apply to another division... it was in november I'm still waiting...

Interview
I was emailed about an interview but it was not a normal interview. I had to record myself and answer questions and send it in. I have not heard back yet, but questions were not too hard.
