Interview
I got a referral from a friend who interned at Bloomberg the previous summer. I had two on-campus (at my school) interviews. The first one went okay, but I got pretty nervous during the second interview, so despite the relative easiness of the questions they asked, I didn't perform as well as I'd hoped.

Met with a recruiter at a career fair, they contacted me about two weeks later to set up a phone interview. For the phone interview, they asked me about my resume, and the projects on it. They asked me what algorithms I used to complete it? Weird question

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Applied through campus career fair, they asked one question on the career fair and you will be asked for a on campus interview the next day if you answer the question correctly. On campus interview was pretty standard, they will chat with you, walk through your resume and throw at you data structures and algorithms problems.
