I spoke with them at the career fair. I mentioned that I'd never received a response after applying there every year, so they immediately scheduled me for an on-campus interview.
It was a 2-on-1 interview, and it went well. I was promptly scheduled for another on-campus interview two days later. That also went well, and I was immediately scheduled for an on-site interview the following week.
The on-site interview was great. I had a conversation with a manager, which included a challenging question, but he pointed me in the right direction. HR asked about my expected salary, to which I responded with the Glassdoor average, along with the typical behavioral questions.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Every person I interacted with was extremely gracious and down-to-earth. It seems like that shouldn't be a lot to ask for, but you'd be surprised how many companies are full of rude, unprepared people. Therefore, I truly appreciated the individuals I met at Bloomberg.
I am excited to start my career here!

Board game question. Don't remember specifics, but it involved BFS, backtracking, and recursion.
Database table design question about representing people's portfolios. Straightforward if you have experience.
Get the average from a bunch of unsorted numbers spread across multiple servers. Then describe how you'd make a function that returns true or false for whether a number is the median. Finally, get the median (no sorting allowed). This problem was by far the hardest, but the interviewer gave a couple of small hints that got me going.
