I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jul 2016
Interview
1 phone interview - why Bloomberg/this position, basic questions about the company/products/competitors, 1-2 questions about financial knowledge
2 in-house interviews - flights and hotel were paid for me, questions similar to the phone interview but with additional questions related to Sales and more advanced questions related to finance
Everything went really fast (a bit more than a week) everyone was really kind and helpful, received feedback immediately after the interviews. Good reactivity with e-mails and phone calls.
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
