I applied to Bloomberg at my school's career fair in Fall 2019.

I was asked to interview with them the next week on campus for an in-person interview.

It was a 2-on-1 interview, with an initial design question followed by a relatively simple algorithms question.

The interviewers were rather rude and were even laughing (seemingly at me) at points. One was on his computer a lot of the time.

I was surprised when, at the end of the interview, they asked me to come back the next day on the spot.

The second interviewers were much nicer. They asked an open-ended design question, and I sat and drew it out for them while they asked questions about different potential problems with it. I had to respond and reconfigure the design when necessary.

I received an email a week later stating they would not be moving forward.

Given an array sorted such that the numbers increase until a peak and then decrease, write an algorithm to search for a number within the array.

Design a system that takes in files and passes them along to another system for processing.
