I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2012
Interview
Was selected for the on-campus interviews after being asked few questions during the University's career fair. Had 2 on-campus 2:1 interviews. Both were technical. Was told that I had been selected for the final round at their headquarters. Had the final round with a senior manager from Bloomberg R&D. I thought that the interview went well. Got the rejection email after a couple of days.
The first round is a phone interview that takes 45 min. After several days I got the email saying that I wad invited to the on site interview in New York. There were two interviewers this time.
I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too.
All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
