I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
Step 1 was a standard online application form.
Step 2 was a mostly technical hour-long phone interview with some unexpected behavioural questions as well, which was mostly standard fare as well.
Step 3 was an interview at Bloomberg's office. I was kept waiting for at least 20 minutes in the lobby before an interviewer came to our group. We were given a tour of the office and then had lunch with the engineers who would then be interviewing us. I was then taken to the actual interview by two of them. I was asked behavioural questions first and then an extended technical question. The engineers were polite and supportive even when I did not know the answers. Afterwards I was taken back to the lobby, and after more waiting, I was shown the way out along with some other candidates by one of the interviewers, who told me the next step would be another interview if successful.
I was sent a generic rejection email after following up two weeks later. Although I had arranged a call for feedback, I did not receive any calls.
