Process

The interview process began with a very easy phone screen, followed by an onsite interview in NYC. The "Super Day" included approximately 15 interviewees.

We started with a tour of Bloomberg Tower, where we learned about their terminal and TV station, among other things. This was followed by a 2-on-1 interview.

There were two rounds of technical interviews. The questions were all quite unusual; essentially, one of my interviewers hadn't prepared any specific questions, instead formulating them as we spoke. While all the questions were interesting, they were a bit challenging – not tricky, but somewhat vague and difficult to explain. I knew at the time that I hadn't performed well.

The people I met throughout the entire process were all very nice and friendly. Overall, the experience was good.
