Software Engineering Interview Experience

Process

I submitted my resume online and was contacted about an interview approximately six weeks later. We agreed to schedule it for the beginning of January.

My interviewer did not call me at the set interview time. After about a week of frantic emails about a possible mix-up, I was informed that my interview had been unavailable due to an emergency.

We rescheduled for about three weeks later. The interviewer seemed disinterested and unprepared, as he appeared to be making up questions on the spot.

I did not hear anything from them until I emailed about a week after the interview. At that point, I was told that the position had been filled or cancelled.

I will not be applying to Bloomberg in the future.
