Interview
Online application followed by the telephone interview. got the reply 1 day after, invitation to a recruitment event. Shadowing, tour in the company and 2:1 interview. You need to be extremely excited about the company if you want the job. As it was mentioned in one article 'Bloomberg demands more loyalty then your spouse'.

Interview
The phone interview questions are well covered in this site already. After passing the phone interview you will get invited into the office for a day to shadow and an interview. The office atmosphere is very delightful and full of energy. Then the interviewer will pick you up and head downstairs for the interview. People on the sales and analytics floor were helpful and bright. Questions include what is the difference between equity and bond? How will you explain credit default swap to someone who has no knowledge of finance? From shadowing what aspect of the job do you like and what do you think will frustrate you? Basically they test your problem solving ability like randomly giving you mathematics or situational questions; and also competency based questions. Expect anything and everything.
