I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online, was asked for an initial phone screen. Passed that, and was given a technical phone screen with hackerrank live coding, then was brought onsite. First interview had two questions, solved both of them, second interview was given an easy question and later told by the second engineer that HR told him to walk me out after giving me an easy question. Second engineer was on his phone the entire time. Overall quite rude and a bad experience.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
