      Financial Software Developer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      Applied online through their website. Received an email to take the online assessment test. Chose C as the language of preference. Some of the questions asked were quite tough. I didn't even know if they were asking questions from C anymore. Anyways after clearing the online assessment test they contacted me for a telephonic interview. The interview was simple enough but there was quite a bit of disturbance on the interviewers end. I could hear other people talking around him. Don't know if he could even understand me with all that noise around him.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      I was asked questions related to pointers in C. If you choose C as your language of choice then make sure to concentrate on pointers. Another question was what is the difference between arrays and linked lists and which one would you prefer to use.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      They gave me a piece of code in C and asked what would be the output. Then they started adding more functions to the basic code and building upon it asked me what changes would occur in the output and if the code would compile at all.
