Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied online for a software developer position. About a week later, I received an email to schedule a phone interview. I scheduled the interview and spoke with two Bloomberg employees who I believe were software developers. They asked me some basic SQL questions.
About a week after that, I received another email inviting me for an onsite interview. However, I had already accepted another job offer and therefore did not attend the onsite interview.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 1.0Top-down management doesn't know techSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 17, 2016Pros: Good insurance, benefits, 401k. Fancy building, free snacks. However, any other tech company would have at least this level of benefits.Cons: terrible for career growth as a software developer. You cannot learn from doing the work. You have to learn by yourself. Because they use outdated tech, you will have a hard time switching jobs to a real IT company.
- 2.0Stressless, But Not For ConsultantsSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 2, 2012Pros: It is a stressless environment to work in.Cons: Not a good place for consultants.
- 4.0Good company overallSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 17, 2013Pros: Everything is team-dependent. Pay, work ethics, quality of work, etc. In general, pay will be good in any team. If you are in a relatively new team, then you may be using C++ and somewhat latest technologies.Cons: Most teams will not tolerate tardiness and late arrivals; however, late departures are always welcome here (in fact, much needed). Fortran and really old technologies are still prevalent in some teams. If you work there for 4 years, you are rendered almost useless for any other company. Things are changing, though, and it's much better. There is definitely a lot of politics, which is not obvious to leaf nodes.
