Submitted a CV online. It took almost a month to receive a response.

In the response email, they asked for your schedule and to provide dates for a technical phone interview. Be careful here because they will confirm the date 2-3 days before it happens, so you should start preparing straight away.

You can choose between C++, Java, and some other languages. The length of the whole interview is around 1 hour.

On the phone:

• Tell me about yourself, your projects, etc.
• Why Bloomberg?
• Two technical questions on a shared editor

This was a pretty bad experience. The interviewer seemed like he wanted me to complete the technical questions as fast as possible and didn't really care about anything else. During the technical stage, I was describing my thought process, but the interviewer was almost completely silent – I even had to ask if he was still on the phone!

My performance was average. On the first question, there was a small hint from him near the start which guided me to the optimal solution. I ended up getting most of it done, but it was definitely a struggle and there were a few mistakes. The second question was much easier. I completed the question without any assistance and provided the optimal solution in around 10 minutes.

It was very uncomfortable overall. I did not hear from them again.

They were both Leetcode questions, probably of medium or easy difficulty.
