I applied online and received an email after two weeks to schedule a phone interview.

The interviewer was very nice and helpful. There were some really basic questions, such as why I wanted to work there, followed by some easy C++ questions.

I made some mistakes, but still managed to advance to the next round.

The second round was a 2-on-1 Skype interview. I was asked questions that tested my understanding of Bloomberg culture and, again, why I wanted to work there. This time, the questions were harder, but still doable.

I had to ask for a small hint on the first question, but got the second one right with a few minor bugs present.

I was promised to hear back within a week but received no response since, so it's safe to conclude I was rejected.

I believe I did not express my enthusiasm for Bloomberg well enough, and I made too many minor mistakes during the technical questions.
