An HR reached out about a month ago and scheduled two rounds of coding interviews. Both questions are leetcode medium level. Could easily be found by Leetcode tag filters and/or discussion threads.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2022
Interview
45min virtual interview. Start with a 10min self-introduction, resume questions, and behavior questions. Then solve one technical coding question in hackerrank with any languages. I need to run the test for the my code. Finally is a 5min Q&A.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. self introduction: describe yourself 2. introduce your experience 3. why Bloomberg 4. resume specific questions 5. coding: given a string with digits and square bracket, return the digit of the longest bracket depth. The bracket depth is defined as the number of brackets enclosed for the string.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sep 2021
Interview
First introduce yourself, according to your resume and self-introduction the interview would ask some technical questions like “what is JWT, which encryption algorithm did you use?”. Then two coding problem were given, not hard, running test was not required.
