Process
I didn't make it on-site, but I did have a Skype interview.
I wasn't prepared enough, but the interviewer was very professional. I had C++ listed on my resume and wasn't aware that Bloomberg is one of the major contributing companies to the C++ STL. They asked me a lot of very specific C++ questions.
