I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
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.
