Extremely negative experience; ghosted after I asked for an interview accommodation possibility. HR almost misjudged my qualifications due to the industry terms I used were different from the ones listed on job description. Also, HR sounded patronizing when trying to examine my qualifications. However, HR eventually agreed that my experiences aligned after I thoroughly explained some differences in the terminology used.
As much as it seemed like my profile matched, I was then ghosted as I asked for potential flexibility for the onsite interview (I was willing to interview onsite but just needed some time to commute). Appearently, this question threw them off and they only wanted to consider local candidates. Like what others mentioned, they filled the vacancy but didn't have the common courtesy to tell candidates.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Honestly, the Bloomberg is clean and straightforward — no unnecessary hoops to jump through. I tailored my CV heavily with keywords like "client onboarding," "API integration," and "portfolio analytics" to get past the ATS filter. I wasn't 100% sure my background would tick every box, but the job description felt like it was written for someone who bridges the
Standard but lengthy. It took about 2-3 weeks in between each interview which ended up being a 3 month process but other than that everyone was nice and the questions they asked were fair.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
It just lasted 7 mins, the interviewer was doing something else when I was doing the introduction, it was a little bit rude and full of pressure. The job and salary is not worthy, hope they can hire a slave instead of a real analytical person
