I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
The online interview consisted of 15 questions that were quickly answered over a period of 1 minute 30 seconds.
In my case, three questions were not recorded properly, so I was interviewed again later in the telephone interview.
