The interview process went smoothly over four rounds. However, the hiring decision took almost two months post-final round, with recruiters becoming unresponsive. Despite positive interviews, I was rejected without explanation. The delays and lack of communication were inexcusable. While I appreciated the interview conversations, the drawn-out hiring process was the worst I've ever experienced.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical rounds were mostly LC Medium. EM round was just over resume
Asked two leetcode mediums and why Bloomberg every round. Pretty straightforward and guide you through problems if you get stuck. Focus on explaining solution and arriving at an optimal solution. Three technical rounds, one HR, and one final hiring manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I was interviewing for them, around 4-5 rounds, which could be scheduled in the same days based on their availability. No OAs so I love it! Real engineers will evaluate you. Coding --> HR chat --> Engineering manager. Long process but great and supportive interviewers.
