I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Interview was good an quick. Took place in London Headquarters Office. First there was a 30 min shadowing session with one of the workers in the department. Then the interview took place. The interviewers were managers from the department, who were asking multiple motivational and past experience questions.

Question 1
What do you know about Bloomberg?
Why do you want to join?
Pretty thorough and transparent interview process. Initial screening and then an in person interview after that you will be invited to shadow and meet the team, including the manager and team leader. Be prepared to not only do a case study and explain your answer, but to be re-interviewed in depth with both behavioral and background questions. Overall, a good lesson in interviewing for a large scale corporation.
