I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2018
Interview
Although the process has taken quite a long time (I waited 3 weeks for each interview), it was generally well organized. I have heard that interviews vary in length and difficulty, but they went through my CV and asked real-life examples of specific topics/previous positions (ex: Tell me about a situation where a client was mad, and what you did about it.)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are Bloomberg's competitors?
Why do clients choose Bloomberg?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2016
Interview
(1) Applied on the Internet Website, (2) Assessment Center, (3) Telephone Interview, (4) Skype Interview with 2 Managers, (5) Skype Interview with Senior Managers
The Assessment Center was fairly simple. The Telephone Interview was mostly based on questions on my CV and prior experiences which would help me to succeed in the given internship. The first skype interview was very nice and the questions were okay. The second interview was definitely more difficult, but manageable; but do admit (like me) if you do not know the answer of a question. Overall very kind personnel, and enjoyable experience.

Question 1
What would you tell a CEO from a mid-sized firm, that asks why he should purchase a Bloomberg Terminal at such high costs if he could simply call the bank/broker and ask for the desired rate/number?
Applied online, had a phone interview shortly afterwards, and then a video interview. They sent me the wrong link and seemed annoyed it started late, which got the interview off to a poor start. They said they would get back to me within 2-3 days but ignored my emails and didn’t respond for almost a month. Not very impressed with their hiring process or preparedness.
