I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2015
Interview
I only got the phone interview and didn't proceed further.
The interviewer was nice and started with introducing himself, then asked a couple of questions about me & the company.
My preferred language was C++, so need to know and be able to explain in detail all the specific things like:
Polymorphism
Pointers, actions with them
Overloading
Objects
Parent & child classes
All the notations ( . & -> ... )
Then we proceeded to two programming questions online about finding out if the string has 3 same consequent letters in it...

15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
