Applied through employee referral and got a phone screen after two weeks.

The process had four rounds:

• An initial coding round
• A loop with another coding round, system design, and HR

Each interview began with a 15-minute resume discussion and ended with time for me to ask questions.

Positive email was sent in 30 minutes after each interview to notify you of passing to the next interview.

Interviewers were friendly, collaborative, and gave hints when needed.

Communication and scheduling from HR were very smooth.

Leetcode style DSA (1 hour) Topic: HashMap, String, Counting

Simple Leetcode style Tree question (1 hour); struggled with time/space complexity, interviewers helped to reach the correct time/space complexity.

System design (1 hour): Design a system where I had to design a real-time, scalable service, discuss components, data flow, and how to handle growth, reliability, and different edge cases.

HR round (30 minutes): Got asked behavioral and experience-based questions. Things like how I handled challenges, times I showed leadership or teamwork, and why I was interested in Bloomberg. They also went deeper into my resume and past roles.
