I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jun 2018
Interview
I applied online and then the recruiter contacted me the next day saying that they would like to do a phone interview with me. He first asked me to describe any project that I have worked on, and once we were done with that part, we moved to the coding part, and at the end he allowed me to ask him some questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coding questions was a candy crush string problem. The input is a string that contains capital letters. If there are three or more same letters in a row, you need to compress them. You need to compress until there are there are no three or more letters are next to each other.
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
