I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2019
Interview
I talked to Bloomberg and they scheduled an interview a couple of days later. I had my first round which went well and at the end of the interview they told me that they'd like to schedule another interview for tomorrow. The second Interview didn't go so well and I got a rejection a couple of days later.
Both of the interviews were 2 on 1 technical interviews. They asked two question in the first interview of Easy and Medium difficulty relating to Strings and Hash tables respectively. In the second round they asked two questions of Hard and Medium difficulty pertaining to topological sorting and BFS with a counter on binary tree respectively.

Interview
Began through on-campus interview. 2 on 1 interview, 2 coding questions over 1 hour. Questions were straightforward and focused on problem-solving and communication, with direction from interviewers when asked. I passed the first round and they asked if I was available to stay for a second. Upon saying no (I had class right after) they offered to fly me to NYC.
In NYC, I went through 2 additional 1 hr technical rounds, with questions increasing in difficulty. Questions ranged from the design of distributed system to implementing and applying an LRU cache. After this, an HR representative chatted with me for 20 minutes. Finally, a manager came in for 30 minutes and asked me a final technical question.
I received an offer 6 days later.

Interview
I interviewed Bloomberg through the campus career fair. It contains two rounds on campus face to face interviews. There were two interviewers in the first round. They asked some projects and behavioral questions. If you pass it, they will inform you immediately. There was one interviewer in the second round. After these two rounds, there would be an onsite including one round with HR and another with a manager.
