I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Angleterre) in Mar 2012
Interview
Professionally run interview process with three stages. Candidates were made to feel at ease early on and senior journalists took time to ensure that there was a good level of understanding about the company and what was required of a potential Bloomberg employee. The first phone interview was with HR and then the final interview was with two Bloomberg editors at their offices.
