I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied through website for UK position.
Went through phone interview, two relatively easy questions. Interviewer was overall satisfied, and said they will get back to me quickly.
They did the same day, and confirmed i passed the interview and will have next round, and asked me if i needed Visa to attend on-site interview, and i answered.
After 7 days i received an email from HR saying they can't move forward and will have to cancel the upcoming interview, since they've already "extended" a lot of offers, and don't want to waste my time. Very very unprofessional. You don't just confirm something if you are unsure about it for any reason, never!

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
