I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2009
Interview
I am Masters student. I got a call from the career fair held at my university. On the spot interview consisted of simple puzzles (e.g the weight distribution) and some OOPS concept. Then they called me for a one to one interview. The interview consisted of question mainly related to the areas of C , database and comp arch. I was not able to answer one of the questions in C and the interviewer spent the whole time dragging me around that questions. It looked as if, he had already rejected me and was simply wasting our time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A() = new B(); --- what does this statement do in C ?
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
