I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jan 2017
Interview
Conducted a video interview as I was not able to fly to London for a face to face interview. The interviewers were very nice and pleasant to talk to. Mostly asked behavioural and competency questions, as well as company focused questions. Walking into the interview, makes sure you know as much as possible about the daily tasks of the job you are applying to and the company itself, including the recent news. That is what my interview was mostly based on. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed and friendly.
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
