I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
1. On-campus technical screening (resume intro, two leetcode-style questions, Q&A). 2. Virtual onsite w/ three back-to-back interviews (first two were 1-hour technicals testing DSA, third was a 30-min behavioral with HR). 3. Engineering Manager round (describe a project in depth + Q&A).
No system design for internship.

Question 1
Every DSA question asked was a Bloomberg-tagged question on leetcode (or a slight variation of one).
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
