I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2018
Interview
One phone interview with a simple base conversion problem, then invited for an on-site in the London offices. There were two interviews, one technical and one with a senior engineer and HR; the first interview consisted of three simple algorithmic problems, whereas the second one involved switching back and forth HR questions with a systems design one. The systems design question was not hard either. The last interview ended soon after discussing my academic plans for the future.

Question 1
Q: Given an array of integers, such that their product is also a 32-bit signed integer, replace each element of the array with the product of all elements besides it.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
