I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2015
Interview
Phone Screen. She asked about my project, then went on to the coding question (Remove duplicates from array). I said I would insert elements to a set. Then she asked how to implement a set. I said I would use a HashSet. Then she asked what was a HashTable, and its times complexity. I did not know to use 2 pointers to modify the array in place, and she gave me lots of hints. That is probably why I was rejected.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
On campus 1 rounds, then onsite, and I have 3 rounds there. First two rounds are coding, with some project or research questions. The last one is behavior questions.
Please make sure you checked with the HR how many rounds you have. They have very strict security management, you cannot go anywhere, except the interviewer will bring you to the next room. If the next interviewer gets late, you might have to wait a long time there. Please have a nice breakfast, they have a lot food inside, but I believe during your interview, you don't have time to grab some.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Waterloo, ON) in Oct 2014
Interview
- 1hr technical interview
- 1hr less formal final interview (30 mins with HR & 30 mins with a technical manager)

The interview process was generally well laid out and they contacted you by phone as soon as you got the offer. They helped you connect with the other interns who got the job as well.
