      Software Developer Interview

      May 4, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Submitted a CV online. Took almost a month to receive a response. In the response e-mail they ask for your schedule and to provide dates for a technical phone interview. Be careful here because they will confirm the date 2-3 days before it happens, so you should start preparing straight away. You can choose between C++, Java, and some other languages. The length of the whole interview is around 1 hour. On the phone: 1) Tell me about yourself, your projects, etc 2) Why Bloomberg? 3) Two technical questions on a shared editor This was a pretty bad experience. The interviewer seemed like he wanted me to complete the technical questions as fast as possible and didn't really care about anything else. During the technical stage I was describing my thought process but the interviewer was almost completely silent - I even had to ask if he was still on the phone! My performance was average. On the first question, there was a small hint from him near the start which guided me to the optimal solution. I ended up getting most of it done but it was definitely a struggle and there were a few mistakes. The second question was much easier. I completed the question without any assistance and provided the optimal solution in around 10 minutes. It was very uncomfortable overall. Did not hear from them again.

      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

      15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.

      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.
