I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Apr 2015
Interview
Very friendly and encouraging Interview. One question I didn't quite understand and she was more than happy to rephrase and ensure that I answer it properly. They Interview process has more of conversation style instead of following a rigid question structure.
