I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2015
Interview
It was a campus career fair. Everyone waiting in line to deliver their resume. They give technical questions when it's your turn to talk to them. They gave me two questions that is listed below. They called me to go to a on campus interview next day. They mostly hire C++ guy. Since I'm a java guy, so I made mistakes when writing C code. End of the story.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. If there is some resource in a static variable, like a DB connection. How to release it after no one will use it.
2. Thread safe singleton pattern
3. Find median of a BST.
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
