I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online and was invited to interview on campus. The interviewers were pretty rude, one kept shaking his head as I explained my thought process, the other one just kind of immediately started grilling me about my career interests before the interview actually started. I'm still in college and exploring, I don't know what I want to do when I graduate.
I got a huge air of entitlement from their software engineers and won't apply again.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Three rounds on campus. They happened on three consecutive days, so there wasn't much turnaround time. However, the interviews themselves weren't impossibly difficult. They were challenging, but they also started off with an easy warm up to get me comfortable.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (College Park, MD) in Sep 2017
Interview
Had an On Campus interview, with two engineers. It was strange having two engineers interview me at once, and they were not exactly in sync with each other in terms of the hints they gave/questions they asked about my code. Overall, the question was not difficult but the two interviewer approach was strange to me. Not the best interview experience. Spent about 5 minutes on my resume initially before jumping into the technical portion.
