I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
Applied through company website. Initial contact and informational interview from HR. 2nd and 3rd interviews over the phone, one with Sales and one with Analytics desk. Final at the NY office. Overall, the interviews weren't too taxing. Know a lot about the company, what they do, culture, why you fit in, etc. Have a general understanding of the markets, financial statements and what role Bloomberg plays.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
After applying online, I was contacted to schedule a phone interview. After some back and forth, we were able to make an appointment (East Coast US - UK time difference..). The interviewer was very friendly. There was a noticeable delay during the conversation, which made it difficult sometimes. I feel the interview would have been easier to complete face to face or at least with some sort of video link.

Question 1
What do you know about Bloomberg? What do you know about the Bloomberg Terminal? Who are Bloomberg's rival companies? Have you been following a market-related story recently?
Got a phone interview, lady was nice and on time. Asked general questions as most people have already mentioned and then have some scenario based questions at the end. The interviewer was calling from Japan, however, the quality of the line was strong and she didn't seem to mind if I asked her to repeat the questionz
