Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
45 Minute Phone Screening - Interviewer called at the point agreed upon and asked about my past projects from my resume. Then proceeded to ask me two questions and to implement solutions to them. Afterwards, if I had any questions, I was free to ask in the remaining time we had. Awaiting response for on-site.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Given a sorted array of positive and negative integer elements, return an array containing the elements from before but squared and sorted in O(n) time.
2) LeetCode - Unique Paths
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
