I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
First: “phone screen” w/ one engineer — tell me about yourself then 2 coding questions. simple graph traversal and design a class under constraints.
Subsequent interviews: 2 engineers per interview. 2 coding questions. Leetcode Medium + custom question
**2nd interview, one of the engineers barely spoke a word of English and made things very, very difficult
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Find a path between 2 points, then follow up under more constraints.
- Design class w/ 3 functions all executing in constant time
- Flatten a multilevel linked list
- Custom question: find max distance you can travel across a list given constraints
I was reached out by the recruiter directly through LinkedIn. I was asked one medium and one hard LeetCode-style question, with a few follow-ups. It started with a general introduction.
5 rounds they are all bloomberg tagged question i didn’t pass em round went deep in tour resume another leetcode question and q&a at the end. In retrospect, i thought I did well but maybe their bar this year is high.
5 rounds 3 tech 1 hr 1 em - they asked a couple leetcode mediums and I know others have gotten some hards I think you should prep the leetcode tagged they are asked a lot
