I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2022
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR. Asked standard questions about resume and the classic 'Why Bloomberg'.
Phone screen round consisted of a single interviewer. Asked a bit about resume and work. Had 40-45 minutes to solve a single question (verified with interviewer about how many questions does he expect me to solve)
Question was standard LC hard, right off of LC, tagged under Bloomberg. Solved it with 1D DP (dynamic programming) approach. 10 mins was questions about the team. A week later I get a reject.
Read LC discuss. Sometimes I think Bloomberg just screens international candidates without any concrete plan of sending them forward in the pipeline. Super random to get through. I've heard of friends who've not been able to do a bfs/dfs problem and have gone through to virtual on site. Do NOT give Bloomberg with the hopes that you'll get selected.
