I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied online. My phone interview was scheduled in a week. The interviewer was nice and willing to help. He asked me some simple data structure questions (e.g. explaining a situation and asking what data structure to use? why? what if the problem changes to this new problem? etc.) I was informed that they'd like me to go for an on-site interview which was scheduled for the week after. Again, I was asked data structure questions, slightly more difficult than the phone interview. I answered all. Then there was an OS question to which I did not give a complete answer. Although everything was fine before that question, one of the interviewers became impolite and did not even listen to my answer and tried to push me to the direction he wanted. I understand that he was suggesting the optimum response, but at that moment the best I could do was giving a partially correct answer with my knowledge. A few days later I was informed that my application 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
