Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 days)
After learning more about the entry level options at Bloomberg, didn't interest me anyway. Phone interview wasn't extensive. 1:1 interview went well, but never received a callback either way to let me know how they felt. That was disappointing, particularly after two rounds of interview and covering my own travel costs from several states away to interview in person. Even with a no, would have preferred a professional and courteous "thanks, bu no thanks."

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)
Interview starts with a group presentation, then a tour of the building which is very impressive. The group of applicants then get split up into groups which go to either a group discussion after reading a article or to one to one interviews. The interviewers were quite young.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 days)
Phone interview was on speakerphone to desk head and HR rep. Just walked them through my resume in great detail - took about half an hour. Called in to their offices a few days later for another interview with two more people. Went over my previous job details again, then a couple of tech questions (what is z-spread, what is a CDS), then they asked me what I think BBG business plan looks like. Not a hard interview at all.

Interviewed Sep 2007 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 1 week)
I was already working within Blombergs proffessional analytics department when I applied to their trading systems department. The process began with shadowing etc to show my interest - this went on for weeks. I then had a 1-2-1 with the department manager to express my interest in joining.
They scheduled an intereview - this included my potential team leader, the london head, global head and the departmental head of recruitment.
They didnt really test my financial knowledge, but more about my knowledge of the department - the initial phase was a 3 minute presentation on all the products they covered and who/what they were for.
It was very much a case of good cop bad cop, with some encouraging looks, with some questions which were really trying to find out if i wanted to be with the company long term and what my interest was in trading systems as oppose to any other department - just using common sense and giving the answers you think they want to here is generally the way forward, but i guess working at bbg for a year or so alreayd definitely has its advantages.
they kept quiet for a couple of weeks, and eventually came back to me with the job offer - no salary changes, as its only done once a year irrespective of any changes to your job title, etc
