The interview had five rounds.

The first three involved technical, LeetCode problems. The fourth was a round with a recruiter, and the last was with a senior engineering manager.

Technical interviewers will probe you and ask follow-up questions to test your problem-solving, understanding, knowledge, and adaptability.

My recruiter (who coordinated the interview process and wasn't the recruiter in round four) was incredibly kind and accommodating.

Bloomberg really has a great culture, and each interview step felt purposeful. They really do want to hire great engineers who are also great people.

During the EM round, we discussed past projects in depth.
