I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
Got the opportunity through recruiter, followed by 2 1-hour technical phone interviews with 2 person team each time. On site interview was setup in NYC. They have a mass interview setup with tiny glass cubes where everyone can see you , it was weird looking at other interview candidates in next 3-4 cubes and hearing them too. They have free food and a cool atmosphere right in manhattan.
