I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Tokyo) in Aug 2020
Interview
The video interview was done through a software/website that records your answers for 1 minute - 1 minute 30 seconds per answer. Takes about 20-30 minutes to finish and interviewee can have enough time (unlimited?) to prepare before recording an answer. Answer can be recorded only once.
