Nice company, I enjoyed working there. It genuinely cared for its employees. There was a good atmosphere, great perks like the pantry and the amazing family-friendly summer party, continuous learning with lots of offerings for online and face-to-face training, and the flexible working-from-home policy, with all the tech in the office supporting people connecting from home or collaborating remotely. Great engineering community.
Very good philanthropy and volunteering culture. I felt proud to be part of Bloomberg and have so many genuine opportunities to make an impact.
Comp was good, but not as good as in other Big Tech or finance companies, at least back then (I left a few years ago).
Too much outdated, proprietary tech; I felt a lot of it wouldn't be useful in my next jobs. It was hard to use cutting-edge tech.
Employees could have a totally different experience, great or awful, depending on their management chain. And not much was done to quickly correct management issues leading to stress, anxiety, and attrition.
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.
The first round is a technical round with an intro, questions based on your resume, and follow-ups. This is then followed by a coding algorithm problem, also with follow-ups. They like to ask a lot of questions.
1 hour, 15 minutes into personal detail, 45 into technical questions. I managed to get two technical questions in: one regarding doubly linked lists, and the other about comparing strings and checking if they are anagrams.
