I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2014
Interview
Technical interview, 3-4 rounds with developers/managers on DS/Alg questions, 1 round background interview with HR. Difficulty of questions vary with the interviewer, from simple LL/Stacks to database queries and associated problems. Interviewers are friendly and helpful with tips and suggestions during the problem solving. Because I was a math major there was a math major interviewer who interviewed me for one of the round which I do not think is common for CS majors

Question 1
4 ways to reverse and integer given increasing constraint on memory, DS used, computer processing etc
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
