I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg Philanthropies (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
The first round is 3 pre-recorded questions, and I'm waiting to hear back. You have a week to access the link, and 2/3 tries on each question. It was very standard and straightforward for the industry.

Question 1
One thing that they asked me was how I worked on a team managing multiple priorities. It's a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment, so I'd expect questions related to this.
Had a virtual interview through their Willo platform. I understand they get a lot of applicants for roles like this, but there's no feedback given as to what part of the interview was not up to their standard.
I interviewed at Bloomberg Philanthropies (Hong Kong)
Interview
Had two rounds of interviews one with HR team first and then with counter parts of the role being interviewed in different regions. Overall seemed like a good interview process and had good conversation, but did not get feedback and just got an automated reply of unsuccessful job application after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about what I knew about bloomberg philanthropies and I talked about what I knew based on the overall group. There was not much information about it in the Hong Kong context and the HR penalized me for not knowing much about the company. Very confusing.
