I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in June 2015
Interview
Video conference for people abroad. Very friendly recruiting staff. The process was rather fast and efficient. They support you in presenting yourself in the best way. No tricks involved. Very strong focus on culture and work ethic. The outlook is good as they seem to have a consistent training program in place. Probably a very good place to kick start your career.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deliver an awesome customer experience?
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.
