Software Engineer Interview Experience - Washington, District of Columbia
Process
The interviewer for the phone interview was awful.
He asked vague questions like, "If you run into a problem in the constructor, how would you solve that?"
If you asked clarifying questions, he thought you were stupid for not understanding such a simple question.
I will likely never apply to Bloomberg again.
