I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
The interview lasted 45 minutes i think, it began with behavioral questions. After like 15 minutes we began the technical questions. I don’t remember the first question exactly but i think it had to do with something recursive, the second question was the classic question about comparing two strings and recognizing if they were the same, i took the classic approach: using sort and then comparing them but the interviewer asked to take another approach, i took one using a stack i think. For both questions we didn’t get to coding, it was all semi coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Something recursive i don't remember
2. Compare two strings and determine if they are the same
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
