I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Dec 2012
Interview
-CV and cover letter for initial screening.
Very basic screening I presume, I believe majority of people get through to telephone interview.
-Telephone interview.
Interviewer very chatty and made me feel very comfortable. Asked about previous job experience and how it relates to Bloomberg. Asked some very simple java based questions about arrays etc. Also how java and c relate, similarities, differences and which language was my favourite.
-In house interview.
Simple typical interview questions, about Bloomberg, motivation for applying for the position etc. Next stage was a java case study. As below.
