I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Adelaida) in Mar 2017
Interview
Applied online, then received an invitation to complete a video recorded interview. This consisted of 6 questions, and you had 30 seconds to read the question before it automatically started recording, at which point you had 90 seconds to answer before it automatically stopped recording. Immediately then moved onto the next question.
Phone Interview:
Took about 30 minutes, with a HR rep from Hong Kong. He was very friendly, easy to talk too. Asked a lot of generic questions, which I had prepared for. Know a lot about what bloomberg do, and some knowledge on their products. Also know about their competitors!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in the London/Sydney Program?
Why Bloomberg?
What are some difficulties you think you may face in the sales role? (particularly when trying to sell the Bloomberg Terminal)
Who are Bloombergs main competitors?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Grenoble) in Jan 2017
Interview
The first step was a CV check. Once I passed the CV check, I received a link for a numerical test including a lot of graphs interpretations. After that I received a link for a video interview. There were around 8 questions. The first were more about the company and why I wanted to choose the company, while the others where either more specific on the position I was applying for or about financial products and financial market situations.
What I really appreciated from this company was the professionality and kindness of the HR recruiter. He proposed me to call me to give me a feedback about my rejection. And this was really valuable.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Initially the process involved basic application questions in the Career Section (Why Bloomberg? Why Sales? etc.) Then completed a numeral reasoning test (fairly short and straightforward). The following step comprised a video-interview where I had to record my answers (roughly 5-10 questions). The final step was an interview with my team leader/s which lasted 1 hour.
