Process

I was first asked to do an online skill test before the onsite interview.

The online skill test had questions about brain teasers and programming.

For the onsite interview, which was part of the Bloomberg Discover Day event, it was held in a room where over 30 Bloomberg employees were sitting. Each employee was interviewing a candidate. That means over 30 people were being interviewed all at the same time, separately but sitting very close to each other.

I have to say that environment was a mess. In the end, I found that the interviewer even had the wrong resume for me, which was actually the resume for the next round of candidates right after me.

I was asked a brain teaser question and about linked lists. The interview lasted for about 15-20 minutes for the whole round of people, I guess.
