Bloomberg L.P. Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I started the process filling out the online application and submitting my resume. I did not have to take an introductory test like a lot of the other reviews I have seen. They first contacted me for a phone interview that consisted of typical data structure and algorithm questions. It was about an hour long and the interviewer was nice.

A couple weeks after that I was contacted for an in house interview up in New York. They payed for your plane ticket, hotel, etc. My first interview went well with more coding questions. They also asked about areas of programming I am interested in and about projects i'm working on. After about an hour the two interviewers left. About ten minutes later two more came in and there was another hour interview. After that I was done. Overall the questions were mostly technical. They also ask quite a bit of brain teasers.

I was contacted a week and a half later that I didnt get the internship.

Interview Details – Applied online and got phone interview within a few days. Questions were focused on C++, SDE. Constructor/descructor, virtual table/function, exception handling, Ito's formula, Jensen's inequality, expectation, a few brain teasers, etc.

Interview Details – I submitted my resume in campus job fair. And one week later, I got an email to set up an on-campus interview.

I met the interviewers in the career center in my school. First some questions like why bloomberg, why interested in Finance, etc. And then two algorithm based questions. Wrote code on paper.

The interviewer were very nice and amicable.

Interview Details – Interviewed as a freshman last year, did two interviews. I met a rep at my college's career fair, and they signed me up for an interview slot the very next day. FIrst one: straightforward and technical, although one of the two interviewers spent half the time on his phone, and the other half trying to intimidate me. Nothing too tricky, just some data structure questions and some optimization problems. They were pretty good about talking you through the problems. I got a second interview later that day, met with two different reps, one of whom I initially met at the fair. Half technical, half behavioral. He was a real nice guy (I'll call him S). I ended up not getting the offer, but as a freshman undergrad with a subpar GPA, this was totally understandable.

This year (as a sophomore), I applied online fall semester and was rejected immediately. Luckily, at the job fair in the spring the same recruiter, who I'm calling S, from last year was there. I told him about my situation and he got me through to HR to set up an interview. So first interview was with him again, and it went fantastic. Pretty straightforward. Lots of string manipulation and memory management stuff. 2nd round later that week: sleep-deprived and the questions were harder. Lots of memory management stuff this time - series of questions on linked lists. Didn't go so well. Haven't heard back since then, and it's been a month. I've contacted S and another HR rep, to no avail. Pretty frustrating.

Interview Details – Applied online, and get a phone interview three weeks later. The technical guy was very nice and asksed question from basic concepts like what is a thread, basic C++ problems realted to string data structure problem related to binary tree, algorithm question and complexities.

Interview Details – Three rounds. Two technical and 1 HR.
Questions: Clear a linked list, all possible sets of n moves that an elephant can make in a chess board, calling overridden (virtual) method from a constructor in C++
Find lowest common ancestor in BST, Return kth largest element in a BST, Two containers each of size 30 ml and 50 ml volumes. How to measure 40 ml in the 50 ml container.

Interview Details – I had an initial phone interview that went very well. I was asked to come in for a second interview which didn't go as well as I had hoped. I was interviewed by two people, both of which acted as though they didn't have any desire to be there at the time. Horrible experience!

Interview Details – I was chosen for an interview from a college career fair for this position. The interviewer seemed nice and the questions were not hard, however if you did not know the programming questions there is no chance that you will be offered a position. as an engineering student and not a computer science major, the programing prerequisite seemed unfair, especially when they told me at the fair that it wouldn't be a problem.
