I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Aug 2010
Interview
Got a phone call from a Global Data employee, interviewed over the phone for about 15 min (basic background questions), got invited for an in-house interview. Interviewed with 2 members of the team for about an hour, then 2 other employees for another hour. Basic questions about strengths/weaknesses, why BB, why this team, etc. Some more in-depth questions during the second interview about the role. Make sure you know competitors, sector and understand the role very well.
Video call with 2-3 rounds interview with different people. Case was given in a group setting that you have to work with other candidates. After that you will get into breakout rooms for 1-2-1 interviews where they will ask about your motivation to join the company and why this role.
Did one interview I thought it went well but I was rejected at the first stage. Asked for feedback they said they choosed somebody already in the department.
Waste of time.
