Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
Two people, each asking a question in order.
One asked a typical data structure question where you choose your data structure and approach, then analyze the time and space complexity. They also presented extreme cases and wanted you to improve your thoughts.
The other was a non-typical problem-solving question. They gave you limited resources (no while/for loops, no counters) and wanted you to think outside of the box.
Questions
Without using loops and counters, how do you solve this specific problem?

Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 4.0Great People, Good Snacks!Software Engineer (Internship) • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 20, 2019Pros: Loved the people, and the snacks! A great company to do an internship with!Cons: None I can think of. The pay is fairly good, but maybe not as good as some other companies might provide.
- 3.0Nice office and free coffee - don't expect moreSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomDecember 6, 2020Pros: A dental plan, if you can't afford them, you can get cinema tickets and coffee for free, six months fully paid maternity/paternity leave, a nice office, plenty of talented people, and good internal financial education materials.Cons: Corporation, no chances for real remote work in the future, no real private health care (only perks for a "healthy lifestyle"), average/poor managers are the norm, no technical path (only people management). They say a lot about doing the right thing and equality, but they lack in those areas themselves. They tend to invest a lot into average projects (e.g., multiple teams working on a project for a year that can be replaced with one script created overnight).
- 4.0Stable, But Tech LagsSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesSeptember 3, 2025Pros: Stable, trying to keep up with the modern stack.Cons: Sometimes outdated tech. It's hard to embed newer technologies into a legacy codebase.
