I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Stony Brook, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
I was first contacted through email for an on campus interview. Then the first round, I was asked technical questions by two people. A week later, got a rejection letter from email. I was not expecting it, since I did so well in the interview. I gave correct answer very quickly, I guess I was bad at explaining my thoughts though. In fact, they had to come up with 4 questions in just a hr.

Question 1
Implement a stack, possible ways to split up a # of cents in coins, string dictionary questions, anagrams.
The first round is a phone interview that takes 45 min. After several days I got the email saying that I wad invited to the on site interview in New York. There were two interviewers this time.
I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too.
All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
