Two days after I submitted my application, I was asked to do a technical phone interview at some point in the next three weeks. I ended up doing my interview 20 days after this email.

The interview started with a couple of general questions about myself, my previous projects, and why I wanted to work at Bloomberg. He then asked me a couple more technical questions, and we then moved on to the coding part of the interview.

The coding part of the interview was more casual than I expected. The interviewer set up the bare bones of a function, which I then had to complete. He made me work on each problem until I had the lowest time complexity possible. The questions were not difficult; however, I would advise revising data structures before the interview.

The interview then ended with me being given the opportunity to ask questions.

Why Bloomberg?
