I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2025
Interview
- hirevue with 9 questions (no time limit and we could retake every question)
- interview with 2 team leaders, one from analytics and one from sales. It was very conversational. Initially it focused on a deep dive on my resume, then I had a role-play question (selling a trip), some prioritazation questions and general questions about the company, the role and interest in finance.
- interview with an analytics manager that was also very conversational and focused a lot in my interest in finance, specially because I come from an engineering background

3 situations and classify them by priority
Hirevue, Superday, In person. Hirevue was pretty standard and the superday was hard, but they give you all of the info you need to prepare. I prepared well for everything besides the sales role play, and that's where I messed up. Everything else is exactly how they describe it.
