      AI Research Scientist Interview

      Aug 11, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      The interview process is a standard 1 hour 2 phone screens and a final round . There are two phone screens and one onsite. The recruiters are fantastic. The second phone screen interviewer however was really bad. I guess this was the first time he was conducting an interview. He arrived to the interview 10 minutes late. In addition to that he did not even have a prepared question. He was unusually silent with long pauses. Had no clue about what to talk or to ask. In addition to this, he was not audible at all. I mentioned it enough number of times to him. The interviewer was also walking out as one could hear the breeze in the call. For a simple binary tree based question he ended up typing a data structure on the coding screen. The interviewer genuinely made the interviewee feel uncomfortable. Now the phone screen involves both technical and a ML question. He gets the interview done in 45 mins. Remember we have only 1 hour and he is already 10 minutes late. Then he says I don't have time and so no more ML questions. So dismissive of another person's time, effort and credentials. I wish I had some other place to review the interviewer. I do also really hope Bloomberg make a check on the interviewers and train them with the basic etiquette on conducting interviews.

      AI Research Scientist Interview

      Oct 24, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Phone screening, then onsite: - The phone screening contains a mix of coding (i.e., Cracking the Coding Interview-style) and ML (i.e., "solve use case X"). - The onsite involves coding, systems design, machine learning, probabilities, and discussions about past projects and interests. On the overall, interviewing for Bloomberg was a great experience. The questions were challenging but fair, and the interviewers were both knowledgeable and empathetic. The use cases are built to reflect real problems, which gave me a lot to think about for my own research. More generally, everyone seemed eager to discuss and get know the candidates, which gave me the feeling that I was talking with computer scientists rather than "formally" interview. The managers spent a lot of time answering all my questions, and all the engineers will gladly share their experience. I would definitely recommend interviewing there if working in NYC is an option. If you are lucky, you may even see a TV shoot..
