Process
I applied online and was contacted for a phone screen.
The phone screen was really good; the interviewer and I had great rapport about the company in general, and we even went overtime.
They did a great job of recommending the company.
Next, I had a call with a recruiter to set up the on-site interview.
The on-site included two technical interviews, one HR interview, and a manager interview that was postponed to a later date.
The manager interview was a lot like some of the interviews mentioned here in the sense of being a bit on the offensive, so I was surprised it still worked out.
Besides that, I really liked the people I got to speak to; everyone was great.
Questions
Standard algorithm questions plus one system design question. Lots of questions about my resume.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 1.0Disappointed, Miserable, Highly PoliticalSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesMarch 28, 2024Pros: All in a picture, nothing in reality. Very disappointed. Complained to HR about my manager; they didn't even listen. From what I hear left and right, people are not happy and are either actively searching for another company or thinking about it.Cons: Pro-Ukrainians; God forbid you are Russian, you are not going to make it. They make your life miserable. It's a very political place and there's nothing good about work-life balance. Once Mike B. stepped out, it all started to go downhill. A bunch of trainings on harassment, but when it comes to the real deal, all is quiet like nothing is happening. It's useless; nobody is doing anything to prevent or follow up.
- 4.0Good place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 27, 2011Pros: Competitive compensation. Nice building and work environment. R&D treated with respect, not just as an expense, like other financial institutions. Free snacks.Cons: A lot of proprietary development and technologies used. Lack of interesting projects, depending on which team you work on. Limited career growth.
- 3.0Good Pay, Smart People, Meh CultureSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesMarch 21, 2025Pros: Good pay for new grads. Smart people.Cons: not as technically organized or robust as FAANG. Very team dependent, culture is meh.
