The first step was solving an easy LeetCode-like question online.

Then, an on-campus interview that started with a 1-hour mini-coding project, followed by two coding/behavioral/design interviews.

The last step was a 1-hour HR behavioral interview.

First step:

Q: Remove excessive blanks from a string.

On campus Qs:

• Design a command-line-like file manager (creating new files/folders, printing a file tree).
• Return a random permutation of integers 1...N (you have a function that returns a random number in range [1,N]).
• Same question, now do it using the function only once.
• Implement a smart pointer.
• Tell us about a project you did (and follow-up questions about that).
• Questions about C++.

HR interview:

• Why Bloomberg?
• What did you learn about Bloomberg in your onsite interviews?
• What are you good at, and what are you not good at?
• Lots of follow-ups.
