Entretien
I applied to the Bloomberg website in late July, got my first email to do a phone screen in late August. Bloomberg doesn't recruit at my school so I did not have any on-campus interviews.
Phone screen was relatively easy (see Question #1).
My on-site interviews had 4 rounds, around an hour each with 15 minute breaks in-between. Something I've heard is that every candidate gets two rounds but if they escort you out after two, you probably won't get the offer. I had two technical rounds, one with HR, and one with a manager.
The interview experience was really nice, especially the on-site and Discover Day. Bloomberg will fly you out and put you up in a really nice hotel. You get a black car to take you from airport to the hotel. They'll give you a tour of the office building (which is really really cool). You get a reimbursement card at the end for $100, but in my experience it wasn't enough to cover expenses.
Discover Day is a chance to interact with the other potential interns and full-timers (all have offers). You also get a chance to talk with Engineers, and even casually talk to several teams. I suspect this was a way to preliminarily team match.
Questions d'entretien [5]
Question 1
How can we multiply two square matrices together? Can we improve the algorithm if we know they're sparsely filled?
Round 2 On-Site: Given prices to fly candidates to SF/NY, assign locations such that Bloomberg pays the least money (#1), Systems Design question regarding incoming stream of stock prices (#2)
It was a first round of a leetcode problem and talking through our past experiences and then after that the next round was 3 different interviews with 3 leetcode problems.

This was my first round, I was scheduled for this hackerrank live coding interview within 2 weeks of applying.
The interviewer was not helpful at all with answering follow-up questions. Said he’s not allowed to do that.

Question 1
Giving a string return, the longest substring without repeating.
I think this is a leetcode easy question

I really enjoyed the interview process. It was in-person so it was less intimidating since I could actually collaborate with the interviewer. The questions were a bit challenging but working with the engineers mad getting hints made it manageable.
