I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
Applied on their website. Received an email about phone. After phone call they flew me to London for an onsite.
The interviewers were polite, but the interview was not nice. I think all the normal interview rooms were full so we settled for a video conference room.
I had to program using a Bloomberg terminal as keyboard on a TV screen that was literally on top of my head. I spend 40 minutes looking upwards at the TV, but because the keyboard key mapping / shortcuts are different than normal keyboards I ended up closing the text editor program, typing wrong stuff many times and losing the progress i would have already made.

A very smooth interview process.
Start with the application on their website. This is smooth and only resumes are submitted. After that, I initiated a telephone interview via Bloomberg via email and I did it. Recruiters also shared Hackerrank links for interviews. (If you are not familiar with Hackerrank, I definitely recommend practicing on their website.
