I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2017
Interview
Didn't make it past the phone interview. Asked about a former project and how I would do it differently today. Also given HackerRank question and, after investigating edge cases, was told to take it one piece at a time, and was then criticized for not considering edge cases. Overall seemed in line with other negative reviews left on Glassdoor about Bloomberg intern interviews.
