I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2017
Interview
Had a more general on-site interview. Very casual just asking why Bloomberg, why financial journalism, what do you think will be the biggest story of the year. This followed by a skills test two weeks later.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2014
Interview
Telephone Interview - not a friendly or warm interviewer at all - very cold tone and condescending tone throughout. Asked basic competency questions and once I answered those with ease, he moved on to technical questions (despite the internship role clearly saying no technical experience or knoweldge was required). It was almost an ego lifting affirming process for the interviewer as opposed to getting to know me as an applicant. The experience spoke volumes to me about Bloomberg's work culture and the type of people they recruit and I wanted no part in it.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process wasn't too bad, also the questions were all right. The only thing that put me off while I was preparing for the interview is that the job itself it's somehow different from the job description. On different websites I have found comments about how the job is more a costumer service role than anything else.

Mostly competency based question (e.g. describe a time when you showed initiative)
