I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2017
Interview
Didn't make it past the phone interview. Asked about a former project and how I would do it differently today. Also given HackerRank question and, after investigating edge cases, was told to take it one piece at a time, and was then criticized for not considering edge cases. Overall seemed in line with other negative reviews left on Glassdoor about Bloomberg intern interviews.

Visited their booth in career fair, asked for on-campus interview a week later. First interview was with two software engineers. Simple tree question and some matrix processing question. They asked for second interview in afternoon the same day. Second interview was with one different software engineer. One algorithm question on whiteboard (can be found in leetcode). Received rejection email after a week later.

The process was great. They are great with communication and fast with replies. I passed the phone screen and received first round interview. I didn't pass that but I believe they fly you out for your third round interview.
