I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sept 2015
Interview
Phone Screen. She asked about my project, then went on to the coding question (Remove duplicates from array). I said I would insert elements to a set. Then she asked how to implement a set. I said I would use a HashSet. Then she asked what was a HashTable, and its times complexity. I did not know to use 2 pointers to modify the array in place, and she gave me lots of hints. That is probably why I was rejected.
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
