I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sept 2017
Interview
On campus technical interview.
First briefly talked about resume and start coding interview.
Two coding questions. You need to first discuss about your idea and then implement it. (Write on paper) There will be follow-up for the questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Number of islands in a matrix.
Note: rule of islands is: all the neighboring nodes are connected including row, column and diagonal.
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.
