I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2010
Interview
Applied online at commodities dept for the position of C++ developer. Within a few days I got a response from them and they scheduled a telephonic interview.
The interview was conducted by 2 people. One of them was a Dev and the other a senior manager.
There were very few logical or puzzle like questions. No problem solving questions. The interview was mostly concentrated on the in-depth knowledge of c++. They wanted someone who could work on supporting C++ applications running in production.
They started off with normal question about inheritance and then moved into STL. There was a few questions about how would you handle issues in production.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
What are iterators? What type are they as in how are they defined? What is the size of an iterator in memory?
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
