I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2018
Interview
A few rounds of interviews asking coding questions, then one system design interview.
They ask system design questions even for entry level candidates. Study leetcode for the coding questions. It is not required to do them perfectly if you explain your thought process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a system that reads stock prices and gets metrics from the stock data.
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
