Software Engineering Summer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took three weeks.
The first round was a phone interview that lasted about one hour.
At first, the interviewer presented himself and his job. Then I had to speak for 5-10 minutes about myself, focusing on a project I developed. The rest of the interview was technical. I was given a coding problem to solve on HackerRank. While explaining the problem, I had to discuss complexity and possible optimizations.
The second round was an on-campus interview with the exact same structure. Finally, they called me for an in-house interview with the same structure and same difficulty.
A few days later, they emailed me saying they wouldn't proceed with my application.

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 5.0Great People, Overtime OkaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomJuly 18, 2023Pros: Good workplace and awesome people for sex.Cons: Bad over time. That's it.
- 4.0Idiosyncratic, but okaySoftware Developer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomFebruary 6, 2017Pros: Bloomberg has its head screwed on internally and treats the development department as a core department, not a cost center. Teams are quite regimented, but there is opportunity for internal transfers. Instead of a Christmas party, Bloomberg holds an enormous summer party in the park, families invited, which I found a nice way of handling things. The grad training program is excellent, if extremely hard work.Cons: A serious case of "Not Invented Here"; you will often be working with old technologies or internal stacks. At least they are generally of decent quality. The London office felt a bit marginalized by New York. Don't expect to get financial experience. Financial news is not the same as finance, and developers are well isolated from business concerns anyway.
