I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
Submitted application online and got contacted by HR in 4 days. Scheduled a telephone interview with one of their software developers for the next week.
The interviewer was really nice and helpful trying to give me guidance along the way. I picked Java as my preferred language and they didn't ask anything about other languages.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is JVM; What is Java Garbage Collection; Difference between an interface and an abstract class. And did some coding on Hackranker.
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.
