I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2016
Interview
Overall the experience was ok. Had a telephone interview with one of the software engineers at Bloomberg. He was a little bit awkward but he was fairly helpful. He asked me a few generic questions (why Bloomberg, tell me a bit about yourself etc.) then we moved to the technical part. He asked me to code a linked list and then some other functions to do with the linked list. I was a bit hesitant to build the functions as I hadn't done that in a while but I managed. He then asked me questions about the code, which I got right judging by his response.
Got an email 2 days after saying I did not get an offer - was disappointed as I did everything he asked, but onwards and upwards.

Question 1
Code a linked list and other Java related questions.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
