I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied directly online.
First received an email asking about my programming experience, after that I was invited to a phone/hackerrank interview, which I was given the choice of C/C++/Java/Python
However after only preparing for Python I was asked questions on all four.
I feel that had the email been more clear I would have prepared for more than one language.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given Java code, why does it not execute as it should
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
