I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Cape Town) in Jan 2011
Interview
It was lengthy, it took about 2 months in total. I had actually written off the application and was interviewing elsewhere by the time I had a phone call to let me know they were bringing me in for an interview.
I was then offered another job at a smaller, local company and told bloomberg of this. I believe this sped up the process with them considerably, as they liked me in the 1st round interview with two of their best and brightest in the office. I then came in a few days later and had an interview with two managers in the Global Data dept in London via video conference.
They offered me the job a day or two later and I accepted.

Question 1
They weren't difficult in hindsight. They also weren't relevant for the role in question either. The one question I do recall well is this:
'How does a wind turbine work?'
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Honestly, the Bloomberg is clean and straightforward — no unnecessary hoops to jump through. I tailored my CV heavily with keywords like "client onboarding," "API integration," and "portfolio analytics" to get past the ATS filter. I wasn't 100% sure my background would tick every box, but the job description felt like it was written for someone who bridges the
Standard but lengthy. It took about 2-3 weeks in between each interview which ended up being a 3 month process but other than that everyone was nice and the questions they asked were fair.

Interview
It just lasted 7 mins, the interviewer was doing something else when I was doing the introduction, it was a little bit rude and full of pressure. The job and salary is not worthy, hope they can hire a slave instead of a real analytical person
