Brief 15-minute call with a recruiter for you to learn about the role, team, and interview process, and for the recruiter to see if your motivations and experience are a potential fit.
1-hour technical coding interview. Zoom/HackerRank call with a more junior member of the team. No 'LeetCode-style' questions were asked in this case, but instead, a general coding question related to something the team is working on. Relatively easy.
1-hour technical coding interview. Zoom/HackerRank call with two more senior members of the team. Again, a coding question was asked related to the team's project. The second task was to analyze a pull request and make comments.
1-hour systems design interview. Zoom/HackerRank call with two senior members of the team. Not necessarily what I expected, as there was no 'whiteboarding' or drawing boxes with components of a high-level system, but instead, it turned out more to be software-level design. For example, critical understanding of OOP, Classes, Inheritance, and Polymorphism etc. was required.
30-minute high-level technical discussion with an Engineering Manager at Bloomberg. Less technical than previous interviews, but it seemed they were looking to see if you were passionate about technology in general and could understand technology besides just coding.
30-minute high-level technical discussion with another senior manager. This time, it was more about motivation, traits, and understanding your past experience and CV.
1-hour conversation with a representative from HR. Final interview, I guess, to understand motivations and why you left your previous job.
Besides the technical interviews, questions were generally open, so you could define how you answered. For example, you could speak about your current/past roles.
