I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
It was an in person interview with two guys. Some of the questions were a bit trivial and platform/compiler specific (how will i = i++; be evaluated in C++).
I didn't get very good answers for what the culture was like and what kind of processes team followed at Bloomberg.
Overall, it wasn't the best interview experience I've had.
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.
