I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Newark, NJ) in Mar 2025
Interview
Pretty easy interview process. Leetcode medium/hard. They don't want you to run the solution, just see your approach. Also, they expect you to communicate while solving the problems.
Other than that, pretty basic and smooth.
