Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
The process took one week.
I interviewed at Bloomberg L.P. (New York, NY) in March 2018.
Bloomberg Recruitment then scheduled the telephonic interview with a panel.
Questions
An agent forwarded my resume and set up an interview date. There was about a two-week wait for the interview, which was telephonic.
Two interviewers were on a conference call and asked theoretical questions. If your underlying theory is good, you can get through. But that means you have to brush up on all the basics. There was not much emphasis on practical knowledge.
What is normalization?
Was this helpful?
