Great experience. It was a brush-up on data structures and algorithms, and I would highly recommend taking a closer look at the frequently asked LeetCode (LC) questions tailored for interviews at Bloomberg. Revisiting data structures and algorithms is a crucial step in preparing for technical interviews, especially with tech giants like Bloomberg. The interview process at such companies often involves challenging coding questions that require a solid understanding of these fundamentals.
I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sep 2022
Interview
5 Stage interview process (3 technical 1 behavioral and one final interview with a manager). The technical are pretty involved and require you to think through your implementation, and you can talk with the interviewer to discuss this. You can choose your programming language, no need to compile/run.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Know data structures, Big O Complexity, arrays, etc. Know the language you are programming with.
interview process was very standard, there was a few rounds of technical interviews, and then a call with the recruiter. nothing out of the ordinary, overall a very quick and efficient process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Given a list of non-unique integers and a target value, return the count of how many pairs of integers sum to the target value 2. Write a square root function (without using a built-in or library square root function) 3. Given a sorted linked list, remove all duplicate nodes 4. Implement a class that uses entry/exit swipe information (card, swipe, station) to answer queries of average transit time between pairs of stations. (design and implement api)
