Process

I got this interview through an on-campus career fair.

They might care about when you graduate.

For non-CS majors, they will first give an online IQ test.

For CS majors, they give an online technical test in the language you choose.

The language test is pretty syntactic.

After that, I got a phone interview.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences

Great Culture, Smart People

Financial Software Engineer • Former Employee

New York, New York, United States

Pros: Bloomberg is an exciting place to work. The company culture is great. The pay is great. The benefits are great. The office is amazing. The technology is being rapidly updated. Some of the smartest people I know still work there. There is lots of talent in this company! Plenty of training opportunities. * Generous vacation. * Generous maternity leave. * Diversity.

Cons: Once you quit, you cannot go back. You may get used to a lot of things that are Bloomberg specific and are not used elsewhere. Flexible work and remote work is hard to arrange. Limited number of offices (if you are in tech, you have a choice only between NYC and London).
