I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
OA plus onsite interview (I had 2 rounds, 3 problem for 1st round, 2 problems for 2nd round), all leetcode problems, but I do not know why there is only one interviewer at a time, although I feel correctly give the answer and the interviewers simulate my code and find no problem. I do not get any feedback why I fail. This is frustrating, especially thinking the company frequently sends me email to follow up, asking me for feedback, while they refuse to give any feedback to me on the other hand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
linked list merge point, racing leading board, throw-die game, print uncle nodes of a tree node.
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
