Process
I applied online and was asked to schedule a 45-minute telephone interview.
The interviewer started by asking for details about the latest project I completed. Then, they asked questions about C/C++, as well as TCP/IP concepts.
Questions covered keywords such as const and explicit in C++.
Inter-process communication, pipes, threads, and processes were a few other topics discussed.
After the conceptual questions, there was a programming portion. The first task was to debug and explain a code snippet. The second was an easy exercise to write code for the factorial of an integer.
Questions
Debug a snippet that was from a header file.
Write a function to find the factorial of an integer.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 4.0Good workplace with good compensationData Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomAugust 27, 2021Pros: Highly valued as an individual. Good compensation. Good perks (pantry, museum tickets, etc.).Cons: Long hours are expected in the industry. Work is reasonably siloed, and teams in engineering departments have trust issues. From a tech perspective, so much is bespoke and internal that you don't get to use much industry-wide tech. There is less of a self-start mindset; there's more of a need to prioritize all the way up the command chain before allocating resources.
- 5.0Software Engineer, 2-3 yearsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesDecember 2, 2024Pros: Great benefits and work/life balanceCons: Can feel like a cog in the system at times. Of course, it depends on your team.
- 5.0My internship, summer 2019Software Engineer(Internship) • Former EmployeeSeptember 20, 2019Pros: Friendly environment. Good team. Interesting work.Cons: Less modern tech stack in places (C++03).
