I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2019
Interview
45 mins on-campus interview with 2 interviewers. Spent about 15 mins going over my resume/projects. While this was nice, one of the interviewers wanted me to explain one of my projects in detail, but he didn't have much background in the topic, so I think it took too long, and took away from my interview/coding question time. They expected to get through 2 algo/coding questions within 30 mins, and then have time for questions, which was a little unreasonable, imo. Also, one of the interviewers guided me towards a wrong solution at first, so that was a bit annoying.
