I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
It was a LeetCode hard-level problem that required implementing a Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm to efficiently explore all possible paths in a graph-like structure. The challenge involved managing multiple edge cases, optimizing traversal to avoid redundant visits, and ensuring that each node was processed in the correct order to achieve the shortest path solution. It tested not only my understanding of data structures like queues and hash sets but also my ability to write clean, efficient code under complex logical constraints.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
Very mid, Korean interviewer late for 15 mins and proceed to not clarify the tasked prompt. No API specs nor any output requirements. Very close to a asked a question no more clarification, if you didn't meet her thinking in mind than it would be a big NO.
only got through two technical rounds, but it was not too bad
Two LeetCode mediums in each interview
Simple resume questions for first 10 mins
i think next round would be EM/HR

Interview
First round on zoom, second round at my university career center. Spent 10 minutes on my resume, then 2 basic easy-medium leetcode questions, then another 5-10 minutes to ask questions to interviewer
