I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in July 2019
Interview
Applied Online, had to fill up answers to different questions:
- Please explain in no more than 75 words why you are interested in a career at Bloomberg.
- Please share your understanding of the role of the Analytics department at Bloomberg.
- What are your motivations for pursuing a client-facing role? Please outline the most relevant skills and experience you have.
- Please tell us about your proudest achievement.
- Why do you want to work in the financial services industry?
After that I had to take an online logic and personality test.
Once I passed this I was selected to take an online video test where I had to answer several questions in front of the cam.
After that I got selected for a Bloomberg Assessment Day at their London Headquarters.
There we had to take one test on Bloomberg Terminals as join a debate concerning a recent market event.
After that I had to take one interview with team leaders both in Sales and Analytics
The next and last step was an interview with Managers of both Sales and Analytics departments.
Begins with a personality assesment that also includes puzzles meant to test pattern recognition. The assesment and the personality quiz takes about 30-40 minutes and requires no preperation before hand.
First was Hireview, 1 Hour interview with two team leaders, and assessment centre, consisting of tests, networking, and a final round interview with two team leaders from analytics and sales departments respectively.
Multi step interview process, they have you submit a recorded video interview, then you get selected for a virtual super day where they interview a bunch of candidates at once, then you get an in person. Know about finance and know as much as you can about Bloomberg and its business. Have a good take on AI in finance.
