Financial Software Developer Intern Interview Experience
Process
I took an online test, which was pretty easy, and then I had the phone interview.
I had a friend who had taken the phone interview a few weeks before me. The questions they asked him were pretty easy.
They asked me pretty basic questions in the beginning, and then they asked me a difficult question.
They asked me: "What is the best way to find duplicates within two intersecting linked lists?"
The answer I gave was very inefficient, so they gave me hints, but I was really nervous and wasn't able to figure it out.
I haven't heard from them yet, so I doubt I will get accepted for the in-house interview.

- 4.0Intern at Bloomberg LP (Israel)Financial Software Developer Intern • Current EmployeeTel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelOctober 29, 2012Pros: Good salary. Nice view from the building. Big company.Cons: Short-term contract. Working mostly alone, not a lot of teamwork. Simple projects, not much room for ingenuity.
- 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.
