I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2024
Interview
The Bloomberg interview focused on discussing my CV, solving tagged LeetCode medium-level problems, and explaining improvements. It included questions about real-life applications, time and space complexity analysis, and demonstrating problem-solving skills in practical scenarios.
I was asked to write code in a programming language of my choice and to complete a template provided with my own code. The interview lasted around two and a half hours and was conducted over Zoom with screen sharing. Throughout the process, the interviewer occasionally paused me to ask questions about the approach I chose for solving the problem and how I handled various edge cases. At the end of the interview, I explained the code in its entirety and demonstrated its functionality

Question 1
My task was to manage a data structure representing an office and its employees. Each employee had an employee ID and was linked to their manager (who was also an 'Employee' type). The office itself had a count of its employees and a head of office, who was also an employee. I was required to write a function to add an employee to the office, a function to print the employee hierarchy, a function to change an employee's manager, and a function to delete an employee.
