The following takes place between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM.
When I arrived at the office, I noticed other candidates in the main room. I introduced myself and started talking a bit with them as I was very nervous. After a while, a girl gave us an office tour which lasted for half an hour. After this, we had a brief lunch with the engineers, during which we tried to solve some Rubik's cubes and talked about Bloomberg and the job.
When we finished, they picked us up and we went to a small room for the two-on-one interviews. The engineers were very kind. They introduced themselves, and so did I. We covered the usual 'Why Bloomberg?' question, and then went directly to the interview.
They asked me two questions about algorithms and data structures: design the algorithm and then implement it in C. I solved both questions without too much effort.
After finishing this interview, we moved to the main room, and I had the opportunity to ask them questions about the company. At the end, they told me to wait in the same room for someone to pick me up.
After a few minutes, I saw the other candidates coming in, and I understood most of them failed the interview. In less than ten minutes, the same girl came to us, saying, 'Ok, you can go home.'
The interview was ended for all of us except for an Indian guy, who probably was the only one to receive an offer.
I am a bit disappointed as I felt I did the interview quite well, but I respect their decision. Anyway, I had a good time with them, and I will try again next time.
