Cool offices, many computer monitors, PCs and Macs, adjustable height (standing) desks, nice lounge areas, lots of free food, and a nice free dinner if working after 7:00 PM.
A very competitive and intense environment. It can be very cutthroat there.
The interviews to get in can be difficult: you typically code live on HackerRank, and they watch you.
Much of the company are programmers, who often work late. The culture is super politically correct.
Bloomberg has his liberal PACs/foundations (e.g., gun control) working out of a floor in the 120 Park building, and they mix in the lounge areas. The media people work in 731 Lex, and they mix in the lounge areas too.
Many things are done on the Bloomberg Terminal (even email), which can be really weird because it is a strange user interface.
Upgrade the Bloomberg Terminal UI to a modern interface. It's not even caught up to 1990s Windows yet.
5 interview rounds: 3 LeetCode, 1 HR, 1 EM. LeetCode rounds are simply tagged as LeetCode. The HR round consists of standard behavioral questions. The EM round is a deep dive into one specific project and the challenges you encountered.
1 technical phone screen, 2 technical in-person interviews (LeetCode questions), 1 HR, and 1 EM round. For the EM round, I was asked about past projects and to explain a random topic.
Multiple rounds of technical interviews. Didn't get passed round one despite answering all the questions and any followups they had. It was two LeetCode questions, and you would write out your code on a HackerRank interface.
