I applied through the website and was contacted by a recruiter after about 18 days. This interview was for the software engineering intern position at Bloomberg's office in London.

The process began with a phone interview, followed by a video conference. If everything went well, they would then invite candidates to London for an on-site interview.

Actually, I did not make it to the video conference. I was rejected after the first interview, although the questions were very easy and I am sure I answered them well, as they were pretty standard and basic. There were also a couple of HR questions, such as why I was willing to work for Bloomberg and so on.

What is the difference between C++ and Java?

What are the primitive data types in Java?

What is the JVM and the Garbage Collector?

Implement a method to decide whether a string is a palindrome or not.
