I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
They basically ask c or c++ questions. I did not have a c++ background so I was grilled on c. The first question they asked me was to write a program to cause stack overflow (just call a function in itself and it will do the job). After that they asked me to write a function which will convert First Name, Last Name to Last Name, First Name in c. Then there were some questions on malloc and calloc , like the difference between these two etc.
The first round is a phone interview that takes 45 min. After several days I got the email saying that I wad invited to the on site interview in New York. There were two interviewers this time.
I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too.
All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
