I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Angleterre) in Feb 2023
Interview
It started with an HR call and that followed by a technical interview. Technical interview was a traditional data structures & algorithms interview. Follow-up question required to improve the performance. The code written in interview should should compile successfully since it's compiled and tested at the end of the interview. Didn't get any feedback about my performance later.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
The phone technical interview was just 1 hour. the first 15 mins was to introduce myself, and the question was to implement a calculator with UI and functionalities. During the interview, I focused on developing functionalities first, however it ran out of time. The next day I received rejection from Bloomberg, strangely, no FEEDBACK!
