I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied online and got contacted to set up first-round telephone interview in about a month. Interview was entirely competency-based with questions about my background and experiences. I applied to the London office, but got interviewed from the US and I am now waiting for them to set up a second telephone interview with the London HR representative. After that they told me that if I am successful there's gonna be a final on-site interview with managers and department heads.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Bloomberg?
Tell me about something innovative you have done?
Why Data Analysis?
How can you contribute?
Team work experience?
Video call with 2-3 rounds interview with different people. Case was given in a group setting that you have to work with other candidates. After that you will get into breakout rooms for 1-2-1 interviews where they will ask about your motivation to join the company and why this role.
Did one interview I thought it went well but I was rejected at the first stage. Asked for feedback they said they choosed somebody already in the department.
