Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I contacted my recruiter, which led to a technical phone screen within the next 3 weeks.
The interview featured non-LeetCode type questions, focusing more on system design and OOP. It was refreshing to be asked these questions instead of random LeetCode problems, even though I had prepared for them by completing hundreds of them.
I am still waiting for confirmation if I have advanced to the next round.
Both recruiters I spoke with were very kind and great. Regardless of whether I advance, they made Bloomberg seem like a top place to work.
I definitely recommend it!
Questions
I can't divulge, but it was mostly System Design based on a feature that I was tasked to mock code.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 1.0Do not make the mistake if you're a senior engineer coming from a tech companySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesApril 12, 2019Pros: Free Snacks Free Soup Beautiful Pantry HealthCare Benefits (BWELL)Cons: * Old, arcane, proprietary stack. * Micromanagement and so-called 'TLs' who were raised from FSD are basically 'dogs' who worked like dogs and now expect you to work as they had done so in the past. They are sycophants and can be very rude and aggressive, unlike any other workplaces. (Senior managers condone their behavior as long as they get their jobs done). * You'll be bombarded with emails, meetings, and distractions; there's no place to vent. * No privacy. Probably the worst desk arrangement for an engineer. Perfect for non-technical traders/product managers. * Tremendous pressure. There is no respite, as others have mentioned. If you don't like what you are doing, good luck!
