I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2011
Interview
Interview with HR was great, very nice lady really interested in learning about my personality. When i went in person to meet 2 people from the salesteam - a manager and a sales person, I was in shock.
They asked questions such as "what are the 2 carachteristics you will bring to bloomberg that are going to 'wow' us?". No questions about my performance, my sales skills, etc. It is as if they had a silly script. Hated every second of it, and felt really stupid, being a experienced professional with 10 years experience and an MBA, being asked so many stupid questions.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What will you bring to Bloomberg that is going to 'wow' us?
The interview process was fairly typical and straightforward, with nothing overly complex or unexpected. The questions were standard and focused on my experience and background. What stood out most to me was how easy-going and approachable everyone was throughout the conversation. The overall atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, which honestly surprised me in a positive way.
It was three round, including on language test. all 1-1 until the final round. everything was done online. However, depending on when you apply I've heard some people have more rounds than myself.
I interviewed with Bloomberg, discussing my background in financial data sales and client management. The conversation focused on market knowledge, problem-solving, and technical expertise. I emphasized relationship-building, data solutions, and strategic growth opportunities, while demonstrating strong motivation and professional communication skills.
