      C++ Developer Interview

      22 Dec 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I wish I hadn't bothered! Contacted by an enthusiastic recruiter. Pointed towards an online portal where I had to essentially dump my CV into their online forms. Moved very quickly onto a telephone interview - I was told this would be technical C++ questions but it turned out to be a high-level discussion about fit for the team (which very very encouraging) HR were then entirely incompetent, with a couple of weeks of silence before asking at 7pm if I could interview the next day! We settled on a more convenient date, and I went in for a day I was told would complete the interviews (technical and HR). In fact I had two technical interviews and noone bothered to tell me the hiring manager and HR weren't available that day until the end of the planned interviews. I received an automated email after two days saying they would not be extending an offer. I requested some more detailed feedback... after three weeks of requests, the message was I was not "technically strong enough", which tells me nothing from a purely technical interview! Compared to Google's face-to-face interview process a couple of weeks prior (and the excellent feedback I got from that) Bloomberg were utterly useless!

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2016

      The initial interview was an HR screener who sounded me out on what my skills were and what I had worked on. This was followed by two technical phone interviews using HackerRank to pose several questions for C++ in first, with 3 topics, then a bit of SQL coding in the second, with a lot of discussion of DELETE of nonunique rows in a table and SQL tuning

      C++ class problems, SQL coding and tuning, C++ codin for efficiency, STL collections
