I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Apr 2018
Interview
Interview process is terrible. I have had 9 phone screening and technical conversations and 9 hackerank interviews. Hiring managers don't communicate with each other, interviewers are not trained to actually interview people. Two times I had interview on positions where the set of my skills is totally off the actual role. I am not sure why I was given an interview on the role that I didn't apply. One time interviewer kept on mute all the time and when I was asking questions he definitely did not participate in conversation at all. Two times i was assigned 4 questions in hackerank and I nailed it. Interviews went very well but then I got the feedback that I only completed 1 of 4 and it took me too much time. I had a strong feeling that BB is not really hiring people and not looking for good candidates
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
