Process
I applied online, and the recruiter contacted me the next day. They said they would like to conduct a phone interview with me.
He first asked me to describe any projects I have worked on. Once we finished that part, we moved to the coding section. At the end, he allowed me to ask him some questions.
Questions
The coding question was a Candy Crush string problem. The input is a string that contains capital letters. If there are three or more of the same letters in a row, you need to compress them. You need to compress until there are no three or more letters next to each other.

- 4.0Good Pay, Flex, But No WfhSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJune 11, 2021Pros: Flexibility, Money, Philanthropy, Good Volunteer ProgramCons: Won't continue work from home after pandemic
- 4.0It all depends on the manager and the particular teamSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 18, 2014Pros: Bloomberg is a great company if your manager is supportive and you like working in a communal environment.Cons: Lower management has a lot of power and autonomy at Bloomberg. If, for whatever reason (personal, racial, or maybe your higher level of education than theirs, etc.), they are not supportive of you, they can make a lot of unfair decisions regarding your pay and green card application. Most people have bachelor's or master's degrees at Bloomberg. Sometimes, older employees view newer people with higher degrees as threats to their careers due to its flat structure. So, I actually don't recommend Bloomberg if you have a higher education degree.
