The role involved software development and machine learning.
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter.
He explained the role and the interview process.
I had the first round, a technical phone interview with two people, and passed.
I had the second technical phone interview with two other people. I was asked some seriously difficult questions and did not do well.

Get things done
Senior Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Good salary.
Good benefits.
Beautiful office in the center of NYC.
Very good summer corporate party.
Cons: Bloomberg's motto is: Get Things Done.
You should develop your application as fast as possible. Nobody asks you about design. Nobody asks you to write any documentation.
Just get things done.
As a result, Bloomberg has tons of spontaneously designed and undocumented code.
Most likely, you will be hired to support this code.
You will have to fix bugs and improve code which should have been redesigned 10 years ago. But nobody will let you redesign it. Just get things done and fix the bug as fast as possible.
Every day, you will get new tickets to fix. This is how you will learn your project. The only way you could understand what to do is to ask your mentor.
You will be very lucky if your mentor is able to explain to you what you should do. He just has no time because he has a lot of tickets too.
Bloomberg is chaos. If you like chaos, this place is just for you.
BTW, please read the book "Bloomberg by Bloomberg."
