I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2010
Interview
Seemed like a nice office when you come in - free food and drinks in the kitchen as soon as you enter the building, and a nice modern office space in which the interview took place.
Interview was very technical, as applying for a technology position. Few competency questions, went over the CV a little, but soon came on to the programming questions on C, even though main language is Java.
