I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
Very professional, thorough, precise. Hackerrank screening (1 hr) followed by in person at their office. 4 rounds of in-person interview - each 1 hr. Beautiful office. I was contacted by a recruiter. Process moves very fast. You need to decide your own pace (when to take an interview)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Deep fundamentals, nothing facy. You need to have a rock solid practice on data structures. Think, eat, breath data structures and be ready to apply logic. honestly, no one will benefit from knowing past questions when it comes to Bloomberg interviews. Fundamental questions on Trees, queues, algorithms, data structures. That is all you need to crack. Practice a lot on hackerrank and such sites.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
1 phone screen and onsite 2 weeks later. 3 rounds tech interviews+manager. The interviewers were quite nice. The group really needed people to contribute right away. Each round are too people. Normally one group leader and one senior developer. I was well-prepared and did a good job in the interview.

Question 1
Bloomberg is C++ heavy. Prepare well for data structure and C++. All the questions are about these.
You don't need to have a perfect solution for their question. The key is to think it out loud and show your analytical skill.

Interview
The role involved software development and machine learning. Applied online. Got contacted by a recruiter. He explained the role and the interview process. Had the first round of phone technical interview with two people, and passed. Had the second technical phone interview with two other people, and got some seriously difficult questions, and didn't do good.
