I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
In general the process went fast and the interviewers were nice. Phone interview: given array with positive integers representing stocks, find what is the maximum loss we can get. Then questions like C++ vs Java. How garbage collection works. On site: implement a stack, given an array of integers find if there are 2 integers in it that can sum to a specific value.

Phone interview: given array with positive integers representing stocks, find what is the maximum loss we can get. Then questions like C++ vs Java. How garbage collection works. On site: implement a stack, given an array of integers find if there are 2 integers in it that can sum to a specific value.
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
