Front End Web Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I had submitted a resume and cover letter to Bloomberg. Someone from HR emailed me and scheduled a phone interview. During the phone interview, I was asked about my work experience and what recent projects I've worked on.
After that, I received an email invitation to a one-on-one interview the following week. I met with a developer there who tested me on my JavaScript, CSS, and HTML knowledge. It was a lot like a school exam, so get familiar with all the technical terminology of your scripting language.
You'll also need to be able to output solutions to coding problems within minutes in front of the interviewer, which can be a nerve-wracking experience. They're sitting there waiting impatiently while you rack your brains for the answer (ugh).
These interview tests can be approached like a timed SAT test. Proper preparation beforehand is crucial.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 5.0Good place to have a careerSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 30, 2012Pros: Mostly great colleges. Good managers who care about their employees. Transparency (anyone can find out what other employees are working on). Opportunity to get training on the job. Employees are encouraged to move around, and there are programs specifically set up for employees to find the right team. Management is becoming more concerned about the needs of developers (everyone getting new computers and much bigger monitors). Some good technical work is done depending on the team.Cons: A lot of what you experience can vary drastically depending on your team. Unfortunately, some teams may have to maintain applications written using outdated technology, but I think that is slowly changing for the better. Some internal politics to deal with, but I think this is inevitable in a company of this size.
