I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
3 rounds of interviews, each round moving higher up the management chain. I had a background in the product area as a trader and managing director and this experience made me a good candidate for building out this new product.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe my competence level in the chosen product area
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
