I recently interviewed for a software engineer position at Bloomberg, and I must say, it was a positive and insightful experience. The interview process was well-structured and organized, starting with a phone screening followed by technical interviews and a final round with the hiring manager.
The phone screening was conducted by a friendly recruiter who took the time to understand my background and experience. They were transparent about the interview process and provided valuable information about the company culture and expectations.
The technical interviews were challenging yet fair. The interviewers were knowledgeable and asked relevant questions that assessed both my technical skills and problem-solving abilities. They also encouraged discussion and provided feedback along the way, which I found to be helpful in understanding where I could improve.
The final round with the hiring manager was a great opportunity to learn more about the team, the projects I would be working on, and the company's vision. The manager was enthusiastic and took the time to answer my questions, giving me a clear picture of what to expect if I joined Bloomberg.

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.
