Financial Software Developer Intern Interview Experience - Stony Brook, New York
Process
I was first contacted via email for an on-campus interview.
In the first round, two people asked me technical questions. A week later, I received a rejection email. I was not expecting it, since I felt I had performed very well in the interview. I gave correct answers very quickly, but I guess I was bad at explaining my thoughts.
In fact, they had to come up with four questions in just one hour.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 4.0Pretty cool codebaseFinancial Software Developer Intern • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 8, 2011Pros: Good code. Nice benefits. The skill level of people working there is pretty high, I must say. There is free food available all the time.Cons: Too much work. They make you work like donkeys. If you're in a team like Global Trading, your life will be hell.
- 3.0Fun Interns, Long HoursFinancial Software Developer Intern • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomNovember 29, 2015Pros: I worked at Bloomberg for a 3-month summer internship. They have lots of events for interns, which keeps it interesting. The other interns were really cool people who were great to hang out with.Cons: My team consisted of people quite a lot older than me, which made it hard to relate to them. They also didn't talk a lot, which can make it a bit depressing when you're sitting in front of a screen all day. It'd be nice to break up the monotony a bit. The hours are also very long, and combined with an hour-long tube journey each way, there was really no free time available (aside from weekends), which just really took it out of me.
- 4.0Learned a lot, nice teammatesFinancial Software Developer Intern • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 8, 2011Pros: Many excellent trainings, both on Finance and Programming. The intern program is nice, and I learned a lot from my teammates.Cons: The work can be boring if you have been there for many years. A messy codebase makes it hard to change and maintain.
