I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2023
Interview
By far, the worst interview experience I've had. The interviewer was a junior software engineer with no interviewing skills. He was cold and uninterested in my skills and experience. He never smiled, didn't know which role I was applying for, or at what stage of the interview I was at. The LeetCode answer was right in front of him. I am disappointed in how immature Bloomberg's interviewing process is. I can't imagine what the company is like internally judging by the quality of the interview process. It's not a culture I'd want to work in.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jun 2023
Interview
Phone call and several round of tech interview. Even though HR mentioned that he hires for multiple teams and have couple positions that suits my profile, after the call just ghosted me
The recruiters and hiring staff were very nice. My interviewer was possibly the worst I've ever had in my career. He had no interest in what I had to say and interrupted me multiple times throughout the interview. I'm sure Bloomberg is no one's first pick, just skip the trouble lol.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
super easy problem that was but made complicated by interviewer for no reason. I completed the entire problem and came up with test cases but interviewer was not in a good mood for some reason.
