      Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 6, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      The phone screen had two questions and I was called onsite after that. On the onsite they have 2:1 interviews where both interviewees ask questions. In the first technical round the first interviewer gave me one medium linked list question which I did flawlessly and optimally. The other interviewer said that let me ask you something that I was just discussing with my colleague about his work just 5 minutes before the interview. And he started framing some random question on the board and to this day I do not know what he wanted to ask. The other interviewer also asked question because he was not able to make sense of this nonsensical question being asked. I mean the job of a good interviewer is to come prepared with a question and not only that he should be prepared with hints too just in case the interviewee gets stuck. But this guy was reinventing the wheel. Then in the second round same thing happened, this guy called it a design problem but then asked me to implement a complex algorithm related to it and then changed the problem statement 20 minutes into the interview. I felt that company just lets anybody who is free for the interview, there is no training and no process whatsoever. Nobody cares about candidate experience. After these technical interviews, I was walked out of the building by the HR who could not answer my questions properly and was too busy instagramming on her phone. So rude!

      Application

      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.
