I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
I had an initial phone interview on Hacker Rank with an engineer at Bloomberg. Then was called to have a 2:1 interview with junior engineers, on site. Then was called back for a final on-site interview with a Senior Engineer and HR rep.
First two rounds were algorithms and data structure questions and the final round was more of a systems development question. I was, at the final stage, rejected due to conflict of interests and goals.
Recruiter was very friendly and helpful and they even provided feedback!

Identify a 'coolstring' which has the same frequency of every character.
The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
