Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
A phone call by a recruiting agent confirmed the role and current experience. Overall, the scheduling of the interviews was good.
Round 1 A telephonic interview with a single interviewer was quite well organized, and the interviewer created a positive environment.
Round 2 Group panel telephonic interview. One interviewer had a very grim face during the whole interview, making it difficult to judge progress. This interviewer was not very helpful during the interview design discussion.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 2.0Smart people, dumb approach to softwareSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 16, 2013Pros: Smart people, nice perks (food, benefits, building, access to Bloomberg terminal), ownership of software, access to training materials and courses.Cons: Expectation of long hours; software is rushed out with many faults, and developers are expected to fix them immediately (i.e., in the middle of the night). Disjointed software infrastructure, bad software process, and disorganized mid-level management. Support functions are minimal (no test teams, HR is not responsive, and enterprise software is frequently confusing).
- 5.0Good Wlb, Slow CloudSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJuly 2, 2024Pros: WLB is pretty good here.Cons: A private cloud might lag behind.
- 3.0Legacy and micromanagement everywhereSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomJuly 17, 2024Pros: Almost everyone is relaxed. Decent compensation.Cons: It's impossible to change; legacy is everywhere. As a software engineer, you deal with configuration and overcoming limitations of the current environment most of the time. If you're senior, expect up to half of your time to be wasted on meetings. Micromanagement is everywhere due to below-average technical expertise in most teams.
