Great benefits, pay above average, good offices.
The place is rampant with folk who have been here for 15-30 years. They hoard all the good, meaningful work and pass the paper-pushing work to qualified new hires. Feedback about this to TL/Manager? HR falls on deaf ears. It's not a revenue-generating group in the company and is heavily neglected in terms of work-life balance.
As a new hire, I had multiple people on my team come out and vent their frustrations to me, which tells me they aren't happy and haven't been for a long time.
Technology is old, at least 8 years behind other fintech/tech companies. Bloomberg, as a company, doesn't live up to the hype it formerly gathered for its technology and culture.
Take your people seriously. Don't treat us like cattle.
- General introduction and getting to know you. - General questions about specific projects on your CV. - Why do you want to work at Bloomberg? - Coding challenge (medium). - Opportunity to ask questions about Bloomberg.
Quick chat with HR recruiter, then a 1h call with their engineer. After that, expect a virtual on-site with multiple more technical rounds. Typical DSA problem, around level Hard on LeetCode.
Got ghosted by the recruiter after the initial reach out. Went through with follow-ups to schedule the interview, providing my availability, and never heard back. I don’t know if there was a misunderstanding or if they just found another applicant.
