I applied online on a whim and received an email response a few weeks later to set up a phone/technical interview. They hold technical interviews online through HackerRank.

The interview began with three or four standard interview questions (questions about my resume, why Bloomberg, etc.), which took about 5 minutes. The rest of the 45 minutes was all technical/algorithm stuff through HackerRank.

I struggled with the first question and never really got anywhere. The interviewer then told me to move on to the next one. I came up with an okay solution for the second one, O(n*log(n)), but he kept asking if I could do better. He eventually told me a solution and asked me to implement it, which was super simple.

Overall, I felt like I was being grilled the whole time. It seemed like the interviewer didn't care about what I was saying unless I got the questions exactly right. I know I didn't do so great on the interview.

A few days later, I received an email stating they weren't interested in moving forward.
