Interview
Group interview: how would you plan to invest $1M for her/him. Actually the interviewer is testing your knowledge about current news. So you need to come up with investment ideas supported by recent news. (your investment ideas DO NOT matter) I think the interviewer is trying to screen off those who are not genuinely interested in finance.
Then they give a job shadowing for about 15 mins. Don't be misled by the job title "analytics", it means telling Bloomberg users about how to use its terminal. It's like a chat room on the terminal, so you answer whatever questions that come. And sometimes you need to pick up phones calls.
Got a phone interview after one week sending out resume. The interview questions were behavioral and hey valued the leadership and ability to group of the candidate slightly more than other qualities for this position. The interviewer were nice. But the response was quite slow, had to waited a few weeks for the notification. Overall, it was a moderate experience but Bloomberg was definitely a reputational company to work for.
