      Financial Software Developer Intern Interview

      18 Apr 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Started off by applying to their internship online. Within a day or two, I got an email asking to schedule a phone interview, and I had the phone interview the next week. Phone interview lasted about an hour, interviewer said it went over time a little. Mostly questions regarding simple algorithms to handle information. Know basic data structures such as hash tables, linked lists, etc. After about another week, I was asked to go to NYC for an on-site interview, so I scheduled it through Bloomberg's HR. The process was pretty easy, they pay for the flight and hotel. At the on-site interview, I had 3+1 interviews. First, an interview with 2 engineers for ~1 hour, then a similar interview with another 2 engineers for ~1 hour, then another ~1 hour interview with the manager of the group. These were all completely technical, asked questions of object oriented design, implementing some simple functions, data structures. Then about a week later, I got a call from the recruiting department saying I got the internship.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a large dataset of people, distinct phone numbers, non-unique names. How would you store the data so that you could efficiently look up someone's data by phone number? By name? What about partial searches, i.e. a few letters of the name?

      Interview

      I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too. All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
