The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
No screening straight into an hour technical interview. Was asked no cultural questions and was given a very hard problem. The interviews called on the phone and had a Russian accent so understanding him was already difficult. As I was thinking out loud he told me just start writing code. He also mentioned he wanted running code specifically. I go through my code and I have to write my own class and main method to test btw. After I test I realized I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem and the interviewer never mentioned anything to me the entire time. He gave 0 hints of help of any kind.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leet code hard involving parenthesis, brackets, and curly braces.
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
