I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
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.
Asked two leetcode mediums and why Bloomberg every round. Pretty straightforward and guide you through problems if you get stuck. Focus on explaining solution and arriving at an optimal solution. Three technical rounds, one HR, and one final hiring manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I was interviewing for them, around 4-5 rounds, which could be scheduled in the same days based on their availability. No OAs so I love it! Real engineers will evaluate you. Coding --> HR chat --> Engineering manager. Long process but great and supportive interviewers.
