Bloomberg Sr Software Engineer interview questions

I gave this Bloomberg interview for a Senior Software Engineer role. I chose Bloomberg over FAANG as I expected it would give importance to C++/low-latency programming skills and my past experience. But to my surprise, I was asked just one unpopular LeetCode question (pun intended) and a system design question at a junior DevOps level. Rejected straight away. It just weighs whether I memorized a LeetCode problem and can bluff through a regular system design. I had to withdraw myself, as I will never be one — because I’m not one.

Reached by the recruiter, Usual Big Tech process First a Phone Screen with a LeetCode problem After an onsite: They did first Algorithms and System Design. They evaluated and decided not to move further. I like that you do not spend time in other interviews at the onsite that will not be useful if you fail the technical part. The intervierwers where all nice, I enjoyed the questions. I just did not have a good performance, hopefully i can prepare better for the future
