Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
I was out of state and applied for the BLAW Sales rep position. About two months later, I got a call from the HR rep. The interview process was pretty standard and the final presentation was a test of your sales skills. I was in a room of about 4-5 members of the sales team. I was given some promotional material (they do not give you access to the platform because they want to see you sell the product) and a scenario surrounding my meeting with the team (posing as a fictional law firm). Be prepared for anything because what I was told by the HR rep was not the actual scenario I was given at the interview.
Bloomberg Law is a different culture from what you will find in the legal information industry. They all report to an office (industry standard is to work from home) and it is an open environment. No offices or even cubicles. A very entrepreneurial culture for the company.
I don't know if they have had bad experiences in the past with people from my current employment, but they kept repeating how you cannot slack off at Bloomberg. I went to top schools and made century club in sales last year, so I was a little confused about the constant mention of not being able to slack off.

I obtained the interview opportunity through its Event Career hold in the company. It was a great event, people are friendly and patient about whatever your questions about Bloomberg. Then they sent me an telephone interview invitation soon, which lasts almost exactly 30 mins. Both competency questions and financial technical questions, such as why do people use call option. And also current affairs, which are asked to check whether you are really interested in what is going on in the market.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
I sent my CV with the cover letter. After about two weeks I got an email with arranged time for the telephone interview. The were basic question - Why Blooomberg and what do you know about it. After that the lady asked me about the latest financial news that I read about, to which I gave a good answer too. But then during the conversation I said that I wanted to do a Masters degree in the future, the person on the phone took it as a negative and said what about Bloomberg in two years ? I think that was the reason why they did not invite me for the interview, thinking that I will leave them in two years and do a Masters. I should now have said that. But to be fair Bloomberg seems to be a kind of company , where one can work for 2-3 years just for the name and them move on.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Very basic interview questions. Talk about yourself, what you know about us, what is some stuff in the news right now. There was one guy doing the interview and it was more like a conversation. Just be able to talk about your resume and why you like this position.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 1+ week)
Asked very general questions. "What are your three biggest strengths?" "What is your biggest weakness and what are you doing to correct it?" It's very impersonal and you feel like the interviewers are reading from a script rather than having a conversation with you. Overall an easy interview but not a very enjoyable one.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 5+ weeks)
First I applied online, just posted my resume and the next day they fixed me up a phone interview to a 2 days later. The phone interview lasted for 30 minutes and at the end they scheduled a 1-1 interview in my country. 1-1 passed really well and the guy gave me positive signals about it. After a couple of weeks, HR invited me to an interview in London which lasted till15.30. First I spent time with Analytics team, then Sales Team. After that I made a 1-1 interview with European Sales manager which was also a good experience for me. However, in the last interview there were 3 people, of which one of them kept asking me weird questions like why did u do that why did u quit that job, why did u choose this major when u were 18, etc. I somewhat got stressed and lost my control over the interview. There would be the last interview with the HR, however they send me instead and said that they will return in 24 hours. The next day at 8:15 am they sent me a "Thank you" letter and stated that they would not offer the employmentship. I hope they will at least pay my flight tickets , but still did not get answer about that!!
