I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
They first called me on my phone unexpectedly, after 1 week of my application. I didn't see the call, but they usually ask if they can talk to you for 5 min. They just want to know if you know Bloomberg and some questions on the specific division (e.g. what are the 3 cash flows?). The next day I was invited to the 2nd round. This was less technical and more about my background. More competency based (e.g. if a client wants to leave us how do you convince him to stay?). The day after I was invited to the final round. This is just motivational, so be prepared to justify why you would pick Bloomberg instead of banks. The company is amazing, free food, latest technology and it's open space.
