I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I have been interviewed via 10-20 tech companies including FAANG, Bloomberg has the worestest interview experience. First recruiter were from different headhunter companies, so different hr will different application process, very confusing. They also pushed me during the process and me HAVE TO choose a date within a week for phone interview. They did a tons of follow-up and called unexpectedly, which is good and bad. The worsetest part is Bloomberg never reimbursed my travel expense, after I followed with them for 3 times, the HR promised I will see the payment by certain date and turned out to be lies again and again. The whole process is extremely unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview is easy level.
On-site are medium to hard.
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
