Glassdoor users rated their interview experience at Bloomberg as 100% positive with a difficulty rating score of 4 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty). Candidates interviewing for Summer Intership and rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for Summer Intership and roles were rated as the easiest.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Begins with a personality assesment that also includes puzzles meant to test pattern recognition. The assesment and the personality quiz takes about 30-40 minutes and requires no preperation before hand.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Apr 2026
Interview
I took 7 interviews across 2 teams. The process is long and drawn out.
You take 2 initial phone interviews for each team; these interviews are similar.
It would make sense to take one at that stage. (same format)
Each team also has a coding round and a system design round(similar rounds). Again repetitive.
I had a resume interview for one of the teams. So overall, I had to take 7 different interviews (7 hours of interviewing).
No feedback after all those rounds.
Overall, all I can say is it was an experience.
