Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Overall, it was a good experience with Bloomberg interviews. They were respectful, clear, and iterated quickly.

Initially, an in-house recruiter reached out and explained the process. You do apply to a specific team, unlike to a generic office like at Google and similar companies.

You can apply to two positions. Even though I chose different positions on the website than the recruiter suggested, she did not object and transferred me to a different recruiter.

The interview rounds and questions were pretty standard:

  • A standard coding interview for the first screen.
  • For the virtual on-site, you get another coding interview, a systems design interview, and a talk with managers.

They use HackerRank as their platform.
