A strong brand name but interview logistics displayed a real lack of organization on this specific team. Started and restarted the interview cycle multiple times (apparently due to leadership changing hands twice)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you go about teaching the proprietary Bloomberg scripting language?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jan 2025
Interview
A Bloomberg recruiter reached out to me and invited me to apply through the website during the last week of December 2024. I interviewed twice, once on January 2 and once again on January 24. I received a rejection email yesterday (January 29).
Both interviews were technical. The interviewers asked the standard "tell me about yourself" question, asked about a couple of things from the resume, then proceeded into the technical questions.

Question 1
A reworded version of the Two City Scheduling question on LeetCode.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview began with brief introductions, I was asked to elaborate on projects I've done in the past. The interviewer was very helpful and guided me along when I got stuck; however, expect to solve the problem more independently in order to pass. Also be able to talk through your solution, otherwise they will stop you and ask you to explain what you're doing.

Question 1
I solved 1 coding question which was string to integer atoi but with a couple modifications such as error handling, and edge cases for negative numbers. There was another question but I didn't have time to get to it within the hour.
