First round was with HR, who were helpful and transparent around details including process, salary range and job expectations. Had a second-round technical screen for one hour. Started with questions around experience followed by a coding problem. I found it challenging but the interviewers were polite, helpful and fair. Unfortunately did not make it through to the virtual onsite, but the process was fair and appropriate to the role.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
After passing first round remote coding interview, I had on-site interview for two teams with three rounds for each team (hour long coding and design and half hour of speaking to department manager). Coding problems were not complex, but attention to details and accuracy are expected and assessed. Design question was with open solution, and for senior level expectations of system design are high.
