I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied directly to a position on their website and was contacted by a hiring manager.
He asked a few questions then setup a phone interview with the direct manager. I interviewed with the direct head of the product team via the telephone. The interview lasted 30 minutes.
Had a great recruiter round with plenty of useful details shared. The recruiter was helpful and informative throughout. Hope this helps others preparing for similar interviews and recruiter conversations ahead.
Had an initial screening call, then an interview with the hiring manager, then an interview with a product manager who quizzed based on SME knowledge of accounting charts. Then another interview with a business head.
