I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2023
Interview
In a nutshell, the best interview is experience I’ve ever had. Consists of 5 stages - Resume/CV, Video interview, Language assessment (for non-native speakers), Team leader interview (2:1), and Manager interview (2:1). It’d definitely be hard for non-finance background candidates to answer the industry-specific questions but it is okay only if you can show them that you’ve done tons of research about the role, Bloomberg, and finance industry.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a recent finance issue that you were interested in. What kind of Bloomberg product do you think would be useful for our clients to deal with it?
Begins with a personality assesment that also includes puzzles meant to test pattern recognition. The assesment and the personality quiz takes about 30-40 minutes and requires no preperation before hand.
First was Hireview, 1 Hour interview with two team leaders, and assessment centre, consisting of tests, networking, and a final round interview with two team leaders from analytics and sales departments respectively.
Multi step interview process, they have you submit a recorded video interview, then you get selected for a virtual super day where they interview a bunch of candidates at once, then you get an in person. Know about finance and know as much as you can about Bloomberg and its business. Have a good take on AI in finance.
