      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 27, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Londres, Inglaterra
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      Applied online for Senior Software Engineer - Artificial Intelligence role through recommendation. The interview process was very smooth and professional and HR took good care of going through all the process. I had a screen call scheduled with two research engineers to evaluate my relevant skills and experience, suitability for the role, followed by an open systems design question and an online coding exercise (typical CS problems). Apart from a strong software engineering background, the role clearly requires significant experience in the AI-related fields and I unfortunately lacked some basics in machine learning -- it's a very complete and really interesting role. However, the interviewers very professional and trying to help. I did not get the offer, but I really appreciated the interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Background and experience suitable for the role - Open systems design question (information storage and retrieval) - Typical CS online coding exercise

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Terrible communication. Got passed between 3 different recruiters all of whom gave specific dates for updates and blew past them. Descriptions of what would be covered in the interviews are wholly inaccurate (don’t bother reading the PDF they sent to “prep” you, almost none of it came up in any of the 3 interviews I did with them.) Interviewers themselves were decent but clearly had exact “right” answers they were looking for. What’s the point of a leetcode question where there’s only one way to implement it? What’s the point of a system design interview where you’re having a candidate parse through a complex system that they clearly already know everything about and are just looking for 1-2 EXACT modifications to check off their boxes? Was there even a right answer? I genuinely don’t know what this company was looking for. Waste of time, waste of effort, waste of resources. Avoid, avoid, avoid
