I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Mar 2015
Interview
Phone interview first. Then Onsite interview. The onsite interview started at 3pm and lasted only two round. Then they asked me back. The interview questions are all java basic concept questions, no coding problems. I don't know how they make the hiring decision. Cause I answered all the questions. And I think my performance was not bad. Very sad that I didn't get a positive feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions are all basic Java questions.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
