It was the first round with HackerRank and a video conference link. It was a simple initial screening.
The recruiter connected me and forwarded my resume. The HR coordinator from BB was good, and the interviewer was good as well.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
4.0
Great place with lots of support, with okay compensation
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Great work-life balance. Most teams have a good culture, and people are all very helpful. We have pretty good talent in every area.
Cons: Comp is just okay, not competitive.
Linux migration related work is too boring.
5.0
Great place to work as a software engineer
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
October 20, 2022
Pros: It's relatively easy to get lots of ownership as a software engineer at Bloomberg, which can be great for career growth. Management treats employees well, and the company's revenue continues to grow.
Work-life balance ranges from good to great, aside from a few understaffed teams. Some of the C++ developers are among the best in the industry.
The company donates 95% of its profits to charity. After a few years here, software engineers commonly get interview requests (and sometimes job offers) from all FAAMG companies and top trading firms. And some people leave those companies for Bloomberg.
Cons: Compensation lags behind that of many other companies that hire software engineers, especially for those with more than ~3 years of experience.
2.0
The pay is standard across the industry

Pros: Exposure to market data and mechanisms
Cons: Interview questions have nothing to do with job duties.
