Fairly common process. I didn't prepare sufficiently and got rejected. HR Screen then technical interview where I got rejected. Interviewer was helpful through the process. Padding with words to fill limit now.

Positive experience
Average interview
Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
Applied through referral -> talked to recruiter - > tech talk with software engineer -> onsite- technical. The process moves very quickly and they respond within a couple of days.
Technical Screen. Scheduled a week after applying. Overall very fast and very nice people. Got a very chill interviewer and was expected to solve 2 leetcode mediums in 40 minutes
Interviewer failed to clarify on the input, forces me to apply her/his logic throughout, even though the time complexity is the same, and space complexity is equivalent in Big O notation. Late for 1/4 of the interview.
