Process
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week.
I applied online through a campus event link and was later invited to schedule an interview by selecting from a list of available dates. The interview took place on-campus and was facilitated by a senior software engineer who was pretty friendly. The interview started with a discussion about my background and past experiences, followed by a medium-level dynamic programming technical question.

Pros: Work-Life Balance is good.
I sometimes leave work around 4 pm.
Cons: Overall an old company that cares mostly about seniority and is stubborn about policy.
1. They insisted on returning to the office during COVID times. This makes me think they don't care about their employees' health (since I am a software engineer, it's not like I really need to complete the work in the office).
2. In some teams, what you can learn is finite. After you learn every part, you probably won't learn new things unless you change teams.
3. Your assessment of your mentor or TL doesn't seem to affect them. Therefore, some mentors or TLs won't be very helpful.
4. For non-senior-level software engineers, Bloomberg helps process the green card after one year of joining. However, the company asked the employees to stay for at least two years after they got their GC, or you need to pay them back. Moreover, if you leave the company within three years, you need to give back your 401k match.
