Overall, the experience was okay. I had a telephone interview with one of the software engineers at Bloomberg. He was a little awkward but fairly helpful. He asked a few generic questions (why Bloomberg, tell me a bit about yourself, etc.) and then we moved to the technical part. He asked me to code a linked list and then some other functions related to the linked list. I was a bit hesitant to build the functions as I hadn't done that in a while, but I managed. He then asked me questions about the code, which I answered correctly judging by his response.

I received an email two days later stating that I did not get an offer. I was disappointed as I did everything he asked, but onwards and upwards.

Code a linked list and other Java-related questions.
