The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (City of London, England) in Nov 2010
Interview
Started with an online C/C++ test which I had no problem with.. Two days later I was notified I'd made it through to the next round where I'd be taking a telephone interview.. During the interview I was asked several general C++ questions as well as several questions relating to the Unix platform and operation system environment. I struggled to answer many of the questions effectively due to the fact that I had very little prior Unix experience coming from a predominantly windows-based programming background. I found this kind of unfair since the interviewer already asked at the beginning of the interview about my Unix experience which was confirmed from my curriculum vitae so he was aware of this before-hand..
In the end I received a phone call the next day of which I was told I didn't make it through the final round (face-to-face HR interview) due to my lack of Unix experience which was fair enough.
Overall a pretty well structured, streamlined interview process with good response time. I'll like to interview again sometime in the future once I brush up on my Unix skills/experience.

Interview
I was told that it will be a phone interview. I got the call 40 minutes after the scheduled time, that too after i contacted HR that i am waiting. The interviewer talked to me only for 10 minutes. After a week, i got negative response from HR.

Interview
1st telephonic interview was good. The guy grilled me on CLR and C# questions.It went for around 45 mins. 2nd Round with a panel of 3 was also quite decent by industry standars. lot of design and approach questions. 3rd round with Manager was mostly about what I have done and overall architecture.4th round with HR.
