I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Had the walk-in interview. People were friendly. They asked a lot about 'customer service'. You need to understand what and how Bloomberg is doing a lot. They didn't ask me about economical knowledge.

Question 1
What do you think is the exceptional customer service?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
Applied through company website. Initial contact and informational interview from HR. 2nd and 3rd interviews over the phone, one with Sales and one with Analytics desk. Final at the NY office. Overall, the interviews weren't too taxing. Know a lot about the company, what they do, culture, why you fit in, etc. Have a general understanding of the markets, financial statements and what role Bloomberg plays.

Question 1
What do you know about our products? Our competitors?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
After applying online, I was contacted to schedule a phone interview. After some back and forth, we were able to make an appointment (East Coast US - UK time difference..). The interviewer was very friendly. There was a noticeable delay during the conversation, which made it difficult sometimes. I feel the interview would have been easier to complete face to face or at least with some sort of video link.

Question 1
What do you know about Bloomberg? What do you know about the Bloomberg Terminal? Who are Bloomberg's rival companies? Have you been following a market-related story recently?
