Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Had a phone interview set up by a recruiter. It was the worst interviewer I have ever experienced. He asked really basic questions, such as, 'What is a class?' and 'What is polymorphism?' If I didn't give him the exact answer he wanted in less than 10 words, he would become haughty and short with me. I should have ended the interview myself; he was so arrogant and ignorant. I will rate the interview as difficult because knowing the canned response to his basic questions was impossible.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to work in the right areaSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 24, 2021Pros: I work in a great area. I have a lot of room for personal development and am actively encouraged to grow. There are leadership opportunities that are regularly made available, but you can stay as an IC if that's what you prefer. There's a ton of collaboration, and the group works on interesting things.Cons: There's a lot of emphasis on delivery, to the point where it can be valued over people skills for leadership positions. An over-emphasis on "impact" from management makes it hard to advocate for KTLO work unless it can be bundled into a project. Slowing down on work for quality can be used against an IC if the TL does not buy in. Various parts of ENG are very different culturally. Software infrastructure is generally good.
