Process
I applied through the Bloomberg site and had a brief telephone interview to set up a programming interview. They didn't show up for the first one, and the interview had to be rescheduled. I think the interviewer and interviewee were not well-matched.
The interviewer asked me to find a loop in a single-linked list that has a T-shaped split. Was he referring to loops in graphs or trees?
Was this helpful?
