The interview experience was disappointing. The interviewer was 12–15 minutes late, and after I emailed to confirm, he joined a minute later, awkwardly explaining he had internet issues and couldn’t communicate with me. His explanation didn’t feel entirely confident, and it seemed like he may have simply forgotten. During the interview, he asked about my motivation to join Bloomberg and about the company’s products. I gave a detailed explanation of Bloomberg and its offerings. However, he asked again what Bloomberg’s product is. I was confused since I had already explained it, and when I double-checked, he said, “I just want to know if you understand the product,” which was very unclear given my earlier answer. Overall, the interviewer’s demeanour felt disengaged. There was little effort to build rapport or make the conversation interactive; it felt very scripted. The interview ended earlier than planned, leaving me feeling that the experience was unprofessional and did not reflect Bloomberg’s reputation. Interviews are a key part of the hiring process, and this experience left a negative impression.

Video interview answering a few straightforward questions about yourself and some basic problem solving. 2nd interview over the phone with HR to go through some of your responses and understand you better, 3rd and 4th are in person with key team members where questions are more customer service based and critical thinking.
