Similar to other reviews here except I interviewed with two teams and oh my god it was bad experience. No real values or culture that they try to portray. Wasn't informed there is no manager round again coz it was maybe same manager that I talked to with the first interview. I actually aced most rounds in the second set of onsite. Will get the feedback soon. Overall I did not see presence of culture that bloomberg talks about. Will not interview with them again. Atleast with not the group that I talked to.
Terrible communication. Got passed between 3 different recruiters all of whom gave specific dates for updates and blew past them. Descriptions of what would be covered in the interviews are wholly inaccurate (don’t bother reading the PDF they sent to “prep” you, almost none of it came up in any of the 3 interviews I did with them.)
Interviewers themselves were decent but clearly had exact “right” answers they were looking for. What’s the point of a leetcode question where there’s only one way to implement it? What’s the point of a system design interview where you’re having a candidate parse through a complex system that they clearly already know everything about and are just looking for 1-2 EXACT modifications to check off their boxes? Was there even a right answer? I genuinely don’t know what this company was looking for. Waste of time, waste of effort, waste of resources. Avoid, avoid, avoid
Interviewed with two separate teams. Coding rounds. Leet code style question. The interview went on for 1 hr. Waiting for the next steps. The seem to like link lists and arrays
