Interview questions [2]
Question 1
An agent forwarded my resume and set up an interview date. There was about a 2 week wait for the interview which was telephonic.
2 interviewers in a conference call, grilled theoretical Questions.If your underlying theory is good, you can get through. But that means you have to brush up all the basics. Not much emphasis on practical knowledge.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me and schedule a phone interview 2 days after we first talk. But the interviewer did not show up for the phone interview. And then when it comes to the second phone interview, the interviewer did not show up either. Both phone interview have to be rescheduled to a different dates, and both of them has heavy South West Asia accent( you know what I mean). These 2 phone interview tells me a lot about Bloomberg's business cultures.

Question 1
Identical to ones on LeetCode, so just buy the premium and practices few times.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jul 2018
Interview
You are on the phone with one to two developers while you are logged into the Hackerrank site. Where they will set up two to three questions of code scripted that you must complete and compile successfully based on the test cases. And while doing that describe how you came to the logic process of getting the answer. If you have testing anxiety this is not a format you can automatically succeed with as a stratagem. The interviewers range from polite and courteous to disinterested and condescending and curt. I developed the insight that no matter how much money they paid you the culture is sink or swim. Especially when I asked the question is the team player culture encouraged there. The answer I received was people are given the resources they can handle. Curt and cut off and unfriendly.There are no team players here for this salary.. which mathematically equates to the probability of high turnover and a high workload. Which is why they have a lot of openings at any one given time. And even then if you pass you are invited on site for four hours to meet personnel but to be tested again in front of a whiteboard TWICE again before you might meet HR at the end for a potential job offer. That is essentially and potentially three tech screens for one job. And maybe for you that is fine. But for me that is nonsense. You should if done right only have to test and tech screen ONCE and only once to show your value.
