6 Stages for me:
1. Application on Bloomberg's Career website
2. Online video questions (no humans involved, just you answering questions in limited time to a camera).
3. HR's interview via phone
4. Video conference call (one's from sales, one's from analytics). Did this at my own place (Bloomberg didn't have their presence there).
5. Video conference call (with head of sales, another team leader). They flew me to their office.
Notes:
- Make sure to be extremely prepared to get questioned on things you've listed on your resume. If you've been in sales role before, you'll get asked; if you had a financial internship, you'll get asked.
- Have some knowledge on world news will greatly help with the video-recording interview and video conference interview later on.
Begins with a personality assesment that also includes puzzles meant to test pattern recognition. The assesment and the personality quiz takes about 30-40 minutes and requires no preperation before hand.
First was Hireview, 1 Hour interview with two team leaders, and assessment centre, consisting of tests, networking, and a final round interview with two team leaders from analytics and sales departments respectively.
Multi step interview process, they have you submit a recorded video interview, then you get selected for a virtual super day where they interview a bunch of candidates at once, then you get an in person. Know about finance and know as much as you can about Bloomberg and its business. Have a good take on AI in finance.
