Asked a few questions about previous experience, then jumped into coding. I think it is because running out of time, interviewer stopped me when about to finish the second question.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2017

The interview process was pretty lengthy, with 4 hours of Hackerrank coding + discussions of technical stuff (split into two 1-hour interviews and one 2-hour interview over the course of several weeks) and 4 hours of on-site interviews with the team, mostly about personal things like motivations, interests and best achievements at work.
