J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bloomberg (New York, NY) en nov. 2011
Entretien
The HR people were completely unprepared for the offer discussion and promised benefits that ultimately were not part of the employee package. The hiring and position manager knew very little about the job (she was new to her role). Complete dissonance from outside reputation of company.

Question 1
Why aren't you staying at home with your children?
I was asked by a recruiter whether I'd be interested in a newsletter editing position some time after applying for a different role. I said yes, and not long later underwent a lengthy editing test. After that, I was sent to an interview round. When I got on the call, I was surprised to be greeted by not one, but three editors, and was told they were hiring for multiple jobs (including two I had not been told about prior to the interview). They then proceeded to ask generic questions before wrapping the interview at the half-hour mark by saying they were only able to hold onto the conference room for that long. I had time for a single question before the call ended. After this, they ghosted me.

Question 1
What kind of editor are you? I asked them to clarify if they had a specific scenario in mind or just meant broadly. They said: "Broadly."
I did not get the position but I can say that the interview was good, however the testing process aftermath was confusing. The instructions were not enough and thus I lost it. The statement they wanted me to use was incorrect.

Question 1
Can you evaluate your last position at the company?

Entretien
I applied for a job online while I was doing an internship. Since I was already in the system, I had direct access to the hiring manager, and reached out directly to them. If you had already done an internship and apply during the internship, it's more likely to get picked up.
