General competency based interview and motivational questions. Why Bloomberg, why this role/ your understanding of this role, a time you solved a problem, worked as a team etc, where do you expect to be in 5 years etc
Recorded video interview, behavioral, technical and behavioral again. The recorded video was around 5 questions. The behavioral was with a team leader in the Data group. The technical was process-oriented with two engineers.
I was only able to make it to the second round of interviews. The first interview was basic data structure questions such as the difference between an array/list. They asked me a couple of questions related to how I would clean a dataset, I had machine learning on my resume so they asked about precision/recall. The second round interview was a live coding interview where you had to analyze a dataset.
Very lengthy and tiring; however, the assessments overall are not hard. There are about 3 interviews that arent hard they are just simple data questions and finance questions. The only downturn is that they take a long time to respond with an offer or so.
