I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2017
Interview
Called for on campus interview after I applied online. Two software developers interviewed together for a duration of forty five mins. Standard interview questions. Asked shallow and deep copy and a coding question on that.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2017
Interview
Had two rounds of phone interview with 2 different engineers. First round was great, it was colloborative and constant feedback was given and was able to solve two problems very well in the first round. Cleared the first round.
In second round, got asked two questions. Answered the first question smoothly. Second question, a little tricky but no help from other end. The interviewer was quiet the entire time not encouraging.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Dec 2017
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview. Interviewer was late but the interview went well. I was then asked a day later to come to an on-site interview. The recruiter scheduled my interview a month away.
Two weeks before the interview, I received an email from my recruiter saying that all the positions have been filled. I responded to make sure that my interview was cancelled. She responded saying that she would get back to me. A week before the scheduled interview date, I emailed her again about the on-site, and then she said that I was all set for the interview (good thing i asked).
A day before my on-site, my friend who applied received an email saying that the intern program was full (very annoying for me). I went to the on-site and everything was great. Interviews went very well and the office was beautiful. The reimbursement does not cover all of the expenses. Received a rejection the next week. I didn't find it too surprising because their program was full (before they interviewed everybody). Wasn't a fan of the HR.
