I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
A Recruiter from consulting firm contacted on LinkedIn. Had a brief phone call with the recruiter, submitted my resume. Got a phone call from a particular team (trading). It was scheduled for an hour phone interview, mine went 10 mins over the hour. No resume, no introduction, straight jumped into coding questions. Two questions were asked to solve. First one was a leetcode Hard and other was leetcode Medium question. I got stuck with the Hard problem for quite a long time, due to which couldn't totally solve the Medium question, but I told how I would solve from which Interview seemed ok with the second problem.
The interviewer was cooperative and encouraging. He patiently answered my questions at the end of the interview. Overall good experience with great questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a string which contains only lowercase letters, remove 3 or more alike letters in sequence so that even after removing there are no 3 or more repeating letters in sequence. Repeat this process as many times as possible.
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
