I met with Bloomberg at the college career fair. I spoke to one of the recruiters who asked me about my experiences, education, etc. He then made up a question on the spot about a robot navigating through a room (based on my experience with programming the Roomba) and asked me to come up with an algorithm. Open-ended, he liked my answer and gave me an interview for the following week.
In the interview for the first round, I was interviewed by two of Bloomberg's engineers who asked basic logic-based questions that used the principles of counting, sorting, searching, etc. At the end of the interview, they told me that they were impressed with my performance and wanted me to interview again the next day.
The next day, my interviewer asked me an open-ended question on how I would implement a text editor. I gave the best shot I could, but I did not clear that round.
