Had an interview with them a few weeks back.

My first round involved simple DS/C++ problems:

• How to get the top 10 most traded stocks from a continuous feed of stock trades.
• Implement a function so that it will not proceed with its operations if it is called more than 100 times per minute.

Second Round:

• Implement a shared pointer.
• Design a web service where multiple feeds are input, and they are trying to modify a common database.

Third Round:

They showed me the Bloomberg Terminal and asked very generic questions: What were the most challenging moments in your career? How do you plan your work? A few questions around my background.

After this, I met with HR, and he said the entire team was really positive about me.

Fourth Round:

Interview with the senior manager. He showed me the Bloomberg Terminal again, and I kept asking him all the queries I had around the terminal. In the end, he said I asked really good questions.

HR Round:

He said people were very positive. We discussed salary expectations and all the benefits Bloomberg provides.

Round with the Head of the Business Unit:

He was not sure that I had completed all the technical rounds and asked me very basic programming questions:

• Error in the code.
• Difference between 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

A few behavioral questions: Why Bloomberg? Why should we hire you?

After this, HR told me that people were really positive and he would send me the salary breakup the next day. I didn't receive any confirmation from them for a week and later found out that I was not selected. This is really unusual for Bloomberg, as they usually respond within 2 days. I answered each and every technical question; I really don't know what they expected.

Overall, a good company with weird people.

There was nothing difficult; they have very average questions. They just try to give you stress in the process.
