Process
The phone interview lasted about 45 minutes, including some basic behavioral questions and two technical questions.
Hackerrank was used for the coding portion. The question was not difficult. I was only asked to write the code to solve the problem; no test cases were required.
Questions
Behavior questions like "Why Bloomberg?" and "Describe one of your projects."
Tech question 1: Linked list cycle. Find if there is a cycle in one linked list.
Tech question 2: Find the intersection of two integer arrays. There might be duplicates in the arrays.
