I applied for an abroad position through India. The HR call was good. Although my interview was rescheduled a couple of times, it was because the position I had applied for earlier was put on hold. I had a phone screening interview with a Bloomberg engineer from NY.

For most of the interview, I felt the interviewer was distracted. They kept looking at the screen and making faces as if annoyed, which was quite distracting and seemed like the interviewer had already made up their mind. (I am not sure if the interview is designed like that or if it was particular to the interviewer, however, this was the only part I didn't like about the interview).

I was asked:

• Two behavioral questions (about my past project and "why you")
• Two LeetCode medium interview questions, which I was able to solve with an optimized algorithm.

I didn't get feedback for my rejection, but my guess is I didn't perform well on the behavioral interview. It seems they put more weightage on "why you want to join Bloomberg?"

Why do you want to work at Bloomberg?

Two LeetCode medium questions. One question was tagged under "Bloomberg Top 5".
