I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
Recruiter was quick to contact me for a screening, followed by 2 interviews. All interviewers seemed uninterested in their jobs. I got ghosted after the 2nd interview even though they told me there'd be more rounds. Anyone I spoke to who has worked at BB says the environment sucks. There are better companies out there... not worth it. You can tell a lot about a team and company from the interviews!
Went into the office, received a badge, interview was done for an hour - lots of questions about cv and some basic interview questions. Afterwards was told to take some snacks and drinks from the pantry.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you were in a situation under pressure and how did you get through this?
The interview process for a Bloomberg Data Specialist role begins with an initial video screening discussing your background, skills, and interest in the position. If you move forward, you will participate in one or more technical and behavioral interviews, which include questions about data analysis.
1) HR Phone Interview - linguistic skills / questions about your past experiences / why you want to break into this industry etc.
2) Team Leader Interview - similar format to the phone interview but more questions on how your skills / experiences are relevant to the position
