I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Fill in application online which was nothing more than giving details about qualifications and past employees, takes about 10 minutes. Phone interview while coding answers to questions on my laptop with them being able to see the results on the other side. In the office three interviews in a day asking more coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical software developer interview questions, giving definitions for object oriented programming terms and coding functions to solve algorithms.
Phone screen went very well, i passed to the onsites and they gave me the problem statement and i proposed a sub-optimal solution. They told to me come up with more optimal solution and didn't give me much time to think about it. They got impatient and gave me a hint. I figured it out and solved the problem, but apparently they thought I needed hints, which I didn't ask for.
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.
