It was the most unprofessional experience I've had and I was surprised that the company this well-known had such a low-level HR responsible. The e-mails always had a lot of errors about date and time. How the messages were written were so casual that I wondered if the HR person was a high school student intern or something. It should not hurt to use words such as "please" to complete strangers including job candidates. I had such a bad impression on these initial correspondences that I completely lost my interest in the company before actually meeting anyone.

Question 1
Why change the industry now? (because I was doing an analysis work in a different field)
What can you bring to the role?
Most of the questions were fairly basic.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Honestly, the Bloomberg is clean and straightforward — no unnecessary hoops to jump through. I tailored my CV heavily with keywords like "client onboarding," "API integration," and "portfolio analytics" to get past the ATS filter. I wasn't 100% sure my background would tick every box, but the job description felt like it was written for someone who bridges the
Standard but lengthy. It took about 2-3 weeks in between each interview which ended up being a 3 month process but other than that everyone was nice and the questions they asked were fair.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
It just lasted 7 mins, the interviewer was doing something else when I was doing the introduction, it was a little bit rude and full of pressure. The job and salary is not worthy, hope they can hire a slave instead of a real analytical person
