Fairly common process. I didn't prepare sufficiently and got rejected. HR Screen then technical interview where I got rejected. Interviewer was helpful through the process. Padding with words to fill limit now.
No offer
Negative experience
Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Applied online and a recruiter reached out to schedule a tech screen. Received an email a few days afterwards to schedule a tech interview that could be an hour or 4. I ended up having 2 back to back tech interviews and a convo with HR. Ghosted after nearly 4 hours worth of interviews
Technical Screen. Scheduled a week after applying. Overall very fast and very nice people. Got a very chill interviewer and was expected to solve 2 leetcode mediums in 40 minutes
Interviewer failed to clarify on the input, forces me to apply her/his logic throughout, even though the time complexity is the same, and space complexity is equivalent in Big O notation. Late for 1/4 of the interview.
