I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Dec 2016
Interview
Done an online application, invited to do a one-way video interview. Prepare in-depth info about Bloomberg and its operations. It is not too difficult, but you have to be prepared to competency-based questions as well.
Begins with a personality assesment that also includes puzzles meant to test pattern recognition. The assesment and the personality quiz takes about 30-40 minutes and requires no preperation before hand.
First was Hireview, 1 Hour interview with two team leaders, and assessment centre, consisting of tests, networking, and a final round interview with two team leaders from analytics and sales departments respectively.
Multi step interview process, they have you submit a recorded video interview, then you get selected for a virtual super day where they interview a bunch of candidates at once, then you get an in person. Know about finance and know as much as you can about Bloomberg and its business. Have a good take on AI in finance.
