I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2019
Interview
I had to take three technical interviews and an interview with HR. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The first interview was over the phone, going over a standard programming question using a live coding platform. Then there was an on-campus interview at my university, an in-person version of the previous interview. This was followed by another technical interview, and finally the interview with HR.

The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
