I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in May 2018
Interview
A recruiter forwarded me the role. Setup a 60 minute phone and HackerRank assessment. The interviewer introduced himself, I talked about my resume and past positions, then he pasted in one problem (see below). I had to think about it for a few minutes before I thought of a solution. During that time, the interviewer kept interrupting me asking if I had a solution or not. Eventually I did and I coded it out. Then he asked for a few more additional features, which I coded without any hesitation. By then the 60 minutes was almost up, and I asked a few questions about the role and environment there. Seemed to go well except for the impatience right after giving me the technical problem.

Question 1
Write a function to give arbitrary probabilities (totalling 100%) to each face of a six-sided die.
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.
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.
