Process

Applied through the university career fair and was invited to an in-person interview at the university. The first round consisted of basic algorithm questions, after which I was moved to the next room for design questions. Both of these rounds had two interviews each.

I was invited on-site to NY. The logistics were handled very well, and I arrived at the Bloomberg building with minimal fuss. The day started with an office tour, followed by interviews. Since I had a technical interview earlier, I only had an HR interview and a more technical one with a manager on-campus.

The technical round involved explaining projects on my resume, followed by two simple algorithm/analytic questions. I spent a lot of time afterward asking my own questions about the company.

Overall, it was a great experience. The office has a very modern, appealing vibe. I'm expecting results in two days.
