      Financial Software Developer Interview

      13 Jan 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Nov 2011

      Interview

      I submitted application online on both my university`s career website and Bloomberg career site. One week later I received a notification of completing an online assessment test. After finished the test, I was asked to schedule an phone interview. Two weeks later in the phone interview, I was first asked about why Bloomberg? Why do you discontinue current interest and choose financial industry? Then asked some technical questions about c++, linked list, hash table and BST. After that, three brain teaser questions. Overall, the interview is not difficult, but I think I screwed up because I did badly in behavior questions

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Question 2

      There are 10 boxes of apples. Each apple in the boxes weights 1 pound, except that one of the boxes contains bad apples, which weights 0.9 pound each. You are given a digital weight (not a scale), and you can take apples out of the boxes. what is the minimum time of weighs to find out which box has bad apples? I gave one solution of 3 times using divide and conquer, but the interviewer said that 1 step is possible. So I couldn`t come up with the solution.
