I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2019
Interview
I talked to Bloomberg and they scheduled an interview a couple of days later. I had my first round which went well and at the end of the interview they told me that they'd like to schedule another interview for tomorrow. The second Interview didn't go so well and I got a rejection a couple of days later.
Both of the interviews were 2 on 1 technical interviews. They asked two question in the first interview of Easy and Medium difficulty relating to Strings and Hash tables respectively. In the second round they asked two questions of Hard and Medium difficulty pertaining to topological sorting and BFS with a counter on binary tree respectively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First Interview: String Compression on LeetCode. The second question was sort of a design question where you were asked to implement three functions to get the Average time between two stations in a Subway system.
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.
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
