Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

January 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process began with an HR contact, followed by a phone interview, and then three rounds of in-person interviews.

After the interviews, the interviewers took me out for lunch and informed me they would like me to onboard. They then sent me back to HR, hoping HR could walk me through the hiring process. However, HR sent me home.

About a week later, HR called me to schedule another culture fit interview with the head of the team. After that, there was no more feedback for two weeks. Subsequently, HR asked if I was still interested in the position I had been interviewing for. I said yes, so HR cancelled all my other interviews with Bloomberg. I hoped for the best.

A couple of days later, HR called me, stating I was not senior enough for the position and asked if I would accept a lower position first. I said yes, so HR offered me another position and cancelled my original one. A week later, I was rejected for the lower position. The end.

Questions

Typical coding questions, but very language-specific, although the job posting stated any major OOP language experience is acceptable.
