I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sept 2019
Interview
Received an automated email to schedule a phone interview, and when the time came the interviewer was a no-show. Contacted the recruiter listed in the email to reschedule and the second interviewer seemed extremely bored and disinterested. The question itself was straight out of leetcode and it seemed like they put minimum effort in building a positive interviewing experience-- the interviewer didn't even care to see the code run in the environment. Received a rejection email shortly after.

The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
