I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Went through 4 on campus interviews and received an offer the next week. The interviews were relatively challenging, mostly focusing on algorithms and C++/C fundamentals. The 3 technical interview featured two technical questions as well as some inquiry about my project/previous internship experience. The final interview was with HR and featured questions like "What are you looking for in an internship?" and "Why Bloomberg over other tech companies?"
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given a set of runnerId's and sensorId's, come up with an algorithm to get the top 10 fastest runners to display on a scoreboard.
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
