Bloomberg Senior Developer interview questions

The first screening phone interview lasted for 30 mins. Was asked to write code for medium problems. On-site interviews were taken by 3 groups of people. It was not a very pleasant experience.

Bloomberg wants you to prepare for the technical interview as if you would be interviewing for FAANG. I interviewed for both FAANG and Bloomberg and I can assure you that there is a big difference in terms of approach. In my case they started with a fairly standard algorithmic question, Leetcode easy, then built on that. They essentially probe and try to find a weakness. It's not about solving the problem, it's about solving the problem in the way they want you to solve it(for instance don't do it recursively, do it iteratively). A lot of open ended questions, behavioural questions thrown into the mix, possibly every interview is different. Regardless, there was no feedback, just an automated email notifying you that you failed. The decision for the technical interview takes into account behavioural factors, if they don't like you for whatever reason they will fail you. After all I solved around 90% of the 10 iterations of the problem I was given and they still failed me.
