I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2018
Interview
I spoke with Bloomberg representatives at a campus career fair and scheduled an on campus interview shortly after. I had very positive experience with the career fair representatives, but the on-campus interview was considerably more negative as the interviewer very clearly did not want to be there. After showing up 10 minutes late, he spent a considerable amount of time during the interview on his phone while I was writing code on a whiteboard and asking him questions. This interview was extremely off-putting, and I don't believe I'm interested in continuing the interview process with Bloomberg regardless of whether I'm offered an onsite interview or not.

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.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
