Working here made me better at two things: programming and interpersonal relationships.
The programming environment requires levels of visualization and planning that I've never had to deal with before. Relationships with co-workers parallel that.
The key to success at BBG is to be useful to others, however and whenever they require it. It's an open floor plan for a reason!
The teams and projects I worked with were high stress with high stakes. That kind of pressure isn't for everyone. I enjoyed it, but I saw people leave because they had difficulties dealing with it.
My management did a great job helping me be a success.
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.
Had three rounds. Be sure to speak more! Communication matters. It's okay if you do not have clues at first, but you need to talk to them about how you think of the problem, and they will guide you through it.
It was a straightforward experience. I talked about my resume for around 10 minutes and then solved a LeetCode-style question. Afterwards, there was an opportunity to ask the interviewer questions about Bloomberg.
