Interviewed Jan 2012 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 1+ week)
Job Published on Linkedin - applied online got instant rejection. Then was contacted direct via Linkedin by Bloomberg's "recruiter" to ask if I was interested. Said yes - explained I had already applied but been rejected. Phone interview was short - I was asked to name my price. Asked if I had any Qs so I asked why they had initially rejected me - they were reluctant to say but claimed it was a system error.
I am a 100% match for their requirements but suspect I may cost more than they want to pay - no idea as they haven't bothered to get back to me.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
there are two rounds, and the first one is 1 to 1 interview, and HR just asked some basic programming questions, like how to reverse a string, and also asked some about my projects. For the next round, two HRs asked me about the programming knowledge again, and also tested me about how to reverse an integer. The interesting thing is that there was a logic puzzle for me. I was kinda stessed out at that time so that I was kind stuck on this problem. I was notified not to get that intern a few days later by E-mail.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I first attended the recruitment event, which consisted of an introduction of the company, job requirement by HR, followed by a group discussion and presentation task
Got phone call from HR for a first interview later that day and had a 1:1 interview with an Analytics team leader. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. There were some general questions, such as why do you want to join Bloomberg, why do you think you are suitable for Bloomberg, etc. The interviewer told me that altogether there are 3 rounds of interviews, the next round will be held with the team manager and the last round with the Asia Pac leader.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Tokyo (Japan) (took a day)
Tough one on one interview at a career fair. For an international position, definitely needed a very high level understanding of the local language. Interview required rather intimate knowledge of Bloomberg's various functions and codes. They did not value background market knowledge and news items as much as I had thought going in.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
I stopped by their booth at their booth in a career fair, and was asked a question on profit maximization, which I answered correctly. Then I was given an interview the next day. I was first asked to talk about some past experience I mentioned on my resume. Then I got a question in physics (since they know that I was a physics major). After that I got asked a few algorithm questions. The next day I had another interview with them, and was asked a brainteaser and two algorithm questions. Immediately following the interview, an HR person discussed with me about visa issues and salaries.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
First was an online IQ type test followed by a phone interview. The "IQ test" consisted of word problems, image manipulation questions, word searches and other questions. Have a pen and paper ready because you will probably want it.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
First, On-line test. Problems are like count the number of letters in a sentence.etc.
Then I got a phone interview. probability question, math problems and coding problems.
1. Find the biggest number in an array without sorting.
2. given 99 numbers from 1 to 100 no-duplicate, find the number that is not there between 1 to 100; given 98 numbers from 1 to 100 no-duplicate, find the two numbers missing between 1 to 100.
Then I got an onsite interview.
Since I am not CS major, they just ask you given a array, how to find the two biggest number.
How to randomize a deck of cards. write a program.
