I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
Online Video Interview, Numerical Test, Shadowing and two interviews at office.
Overall process went quick.
Last interview was difficult and unwelcoming. I felt that they did not see me as a fit at all, even though I went through all other stages. I would have preferred this decision was made earlier, they knew my background. State clearly the reason that you are interested in finance, like you read books and news in spare time.
The job came across as a customer service with every day being contacted by clients for questions on how to work the Bloomberg system..
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
