Financial Software Developer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks.
I interviewed at Bloomberg L.P. (London, England) in Feb. 2016.
Interview
Applied at the company website. Around 3 weeks later, I received an invitation for an online technical interview.
After the results came out, I was invited for an in-house interview, which consisted of 2 technical interviews and one competency-based interview. Additionally, we got a tour of the London office and the chance to talk with current developers.
After a week and a half, I received the final decision.
