I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
The first interview was a one hour technical interview. It was divided in two parts: the first part was about algorithm, the second about data structures. In the first step they ask to solve a problem, say what is its complexity and how to test it. The second step they ask what data structures I want to use in a particular case., with the constraint that the complexity must be at most linear. For the second interview they invited me to the London office. In this interview the first part was also about algorithm, but the insist more on the complexity part, temporal and spatial. The second part was a problem with probability.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
