I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Jul 2021
Interview
Super Day is the name of this interview/event. Usually, it's held in the office but I believe because of COVID, they decided to do it over their internal video conferencing product. There was a 30 minute or so welcome and introduction, a Q&A with current analysts, we went through process re-engineering/workflow, and then an interview with a "higher-up". Theres also a technical aptitude test which tests your knowledge on performing, in a nutshell, what would ultimately be things you'd encounter day-to-day and that had to be completed before a certain time. All in all a very smooth process. If I had to give any advice, know your SQL basics, have a full understanding of what an equity data analyst does and be okay with asking questions and engaging with the people you talk with.

Talk about a time you improved a process using technology.
Talk about a challenge you've overcome in projects and how you used collaboration skills.
pretty easy going. Mostly asked questions that you will find online. They just want to see an active interest in finance and good communication skills. Make sure to look into the company, recent topics and have a nuanced perspective on all of it.

Question 1
What's a recent financial/economic related event that you have been thinking about or researching?
Mostly virtual, not a lot of technical coding questions until final round. Bloomberg Terminal experience was nice to have but they didn't seem to care much. One or two rounds then a virtual superday.

I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New Delhi) in Feb 2022
Interview
it was moderate & interactive but it was hard when the questions were around star approach. There were in total two people who were taking my interview from different nationality, both were interactive but being a fresher I was quite not prepared for some questions out of my domain.
