      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Phone screen went very well, i passed to the onsites and they gave me the problem statement and i proposed a sub-optimal solution. They told to me come up with more optimal solution and didn't give me much time to think about it. They got impatient and gave me a hint. I figured it out and solved the problem, but apparently they thought I needed hints, which I didn't ask for.

      I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
