Bloomberg Financial Software Developer interview questions

Got the info from school on an information session. The building design is modern and they have colored elevator banks. The event presenters were smart and definitely gave off a tech company vibe. Think less Wall Street more Apple or Google. The session informed the position is for a training program that could lead to an internship that could lead to job. Starts with a three stage process that consists of resume review, assessment test, and an in person interview. Resume review was simple enough as they are not looking for specific backgrounds. They are looking for undergrad and graduate students with an interest in programming and and financial products. Next step is the assessment test which is similar to the logic game section of lsat. They give you three days once you're emailed to take the exam. Its not difficult but I wold suggest doing logic puzzles to prepare. Its about 30 questions and you get 3 minutes for each question. Expect arranging, organizing, and sequencing games. Even a few questions where you draw a letter on a page then get instruction to turn it 90 degrees 45 degrees and so on then pick the image youre left with. Hard to pick up on what the culture is like in an hour but no question you'll be working with some smart folks in a challenging environment.

3 rounds interview. Talked with 2 people separately in the first round. One guy just asked me some general questions and the other guy ask me several programming questions like string inversion. In the second round interview, I talked with a manager and he asked me several algorithm questions. In the final round, I talked with a HR first, then I talked with another alumni. He asked me 2 programming questions and I skewed up.
