I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Hongkong) in Mar 2011
Interview
Submitted online application and heard back within a week. I wasn't in Hong Kong so the whole process was done via web conference. Three rounds, first 2 were successful. The last, I interviewed with the team manager. She was the deal breaker, an absolutely horrible attitude and occasionally yawned.
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
