Process

Bloomberg came on campus. The first round was conducted by two interviewers asking simple data structure questions on linked lists and trees.

The second round involved a design question and a puzzle.

The last round was on-site. However, the managers were stuck asking irrelevant and stupid questions, all of them aimed at questioning things not done by me. They asked me questions like if I had ever written code or just knew theory. The experience was humiliating and felt like walking out of the interview.
