I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Boston, MA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Submitted resume in career fair. Had a good chat with the representative. Was emailed for an interview request. The interview was scheduled the next day of the email itself.
It was a technical interview. Started with what made me apply to Bloomberg.
Then I was asked to talk about 1 of the projects on my resume.
Then the questions were all based on C/C++, some data structures.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Interviewer : I have written a book on C++. I ask you to write a program to generate the Index (all keywords and the page nos where those keywords occur) . Give the data structures and how you would go about it.
Virtual Functions. Difference in the effect of having a virtual function and not making the same function as virtual. Some confusing scenarios on virtual functions.

Interview
On campus interview. Asked basic algorithms and data structure like arrays. Also asked to design a simple application. 2:1 interview. Still waiting for next step. I feel like on campus interviews for initial screening is easier than having a phone interview. The interviewers are usually very nice and will give you some lead on what's missing, etc.

Interview
I actually expect some generic questions like data structure, but it's not what i got. they looked at my resume and found that i have done something in memory management, then go ahead and ask me related questions. The entire interview probably only takes 25 minutes. and they only have asked me two questions which i didn't answer well IMHO.
