I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2024
Interview
5 rounds,
contacted by recruiter in april 24 for new grad 25
have had 3 technical and 1 hr round so far. practicing leetcode was the main thing. they give you topics to focus on specifically (binary trees, arrays, hashmaps, linked lists, backtrack and graphs). they dont ask outside of that. still waiting to hear if i made it to the em round
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.
