Applied online in early August 2014 and received email 3 days later from HR to get more info from me and for scheduling interview. There's a question in the email "From Bloomberg's perspective what is the Analytics (client services) role", basically they want to screen out candidates who don't understand the role and job duty. Received interview invitation 4 days later.
Group interview, same as what is described in the previous sharing on Glassdoor. Strongly recommend to do some research on the interview process. Lasted for ~2hrs.
Self intro about yourself, company background introduction with simple demonstration of how to the terminal. Around 15 ppl in my session, divided into 4 group, random seating by yourself.
1. Character ranking, read a simple fairy tale story and rank the characters with 'the most favorable'. Rank it individually first and come up a ranking within a group.
2. How would you invest 1M ? support with news. my group talked about e-commerce, bonds, interviewer asked questions.
3. Debate with another group, based on the ranking in part 1. 30s opening statement by each group, then each group member got a chance to say sth for 30s, 30s ending by each group.
Since I did research so the interview process and questions are expected. Nothing surprise.
Shortlisted candidates will receive calls on the following day. Received 2nd interview invitation.
2nd interview: 1on1 with team leader, standard question about the understanding of the role, questions about your CV and behavioural question.
