I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I applied online through their career website and I got en email from their recruiter asking me for 3 possible time slots for a phone interview which would last about 60 mins. I was asked to login to Hackerrank 5 mins before the call and the interviewer logged in and called my mobile right on time as scheduled. He asked me a lot of questions about my resume and asked me to describe the scenarios where I applied all the technologies listed. This took around 20 mins. He then gave me a coding question on Hackerank which wasn't very difficult but because of the various design possibilities, I was the only one who kept asking all the questions and the interviewer would answer me by saying 'do what you think is right', I split the question into two parts and was still working on the second part when he told me we were running out of time. So I added a comment to the code saying implementing part 2 ..... etc and he told me that he doesn't expect me to finish writing the entire code, he wanted to see my approach to the problem. After an hour and 5 mins, he went on to give me another question which was relatively much smaller and required me to write the answers in one line, which I did. He again interrupted me saying he needs to move on to another call and if there were any questions I had for him.
I am waiting to hear back from HR

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
Interview takes one hours. We used both phone and shared screen. Ask questions about c++ and javascript. Agency didn't arrange it very well. Supposed to finish the test before the interview but not told by the agency. The interviewer is very nice. Feel not easy to pass the interview. Need to prepare for it very well if you want to pass the test.
