Financial Applications Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
After passing the resume screen, I was contacted by a Bloomberg representative about taking an IQ test.
The test took me about 0.5 to 1 hour and comprised logic, math, and teaser questions.
After passing the test, I was contacted again about scheduling a phone interview. I sent in my available times and received an email about a week later confirming a time slot.
The phone interview lasted about an hour and was technical. I received a programming question and two logic brainteasers.
The interviewer was very nice and generally helped me work through the problems. However, I still couldn't answer one of the questions. I think this is why I didn't make it past this round (he was dropping REALLY big hints; I can't believe I didn't get it).
Questions
My clock is 9 minutes slow every hour.
At noon, it tells the correct time.
After how many hours will it again tell the correct time?
