Bloomberg Sr Software Engineer interview questions

Short recruiter phone screen, then a 60 minute technical interview with a person from the team you're interviewing for. If you pass that, you'll get a full loop of interviews with a system design question.

Matched with two teams and proceeded to the final on-site for both of them. The technical screening was similar to what others have described on here - one to two medium/medium-hard questions to complete. Team may ask some questions on your resume, or just jump right into the problem. There is a very clear disconnect between the recruiters and teams when it comes to the final round - I received a prep guide and had a prep call that very clearly indicated the system design round would be a High Level Design for a distributed system. Come the actual system design interview, the engineers spent about 30 minutes asking questions on my resume and teaching me about financial concepts, leaving me roughy 20 minutes to implement a low level class design for complex financial logic I just learned minutes before in the interview. Had I known the process would be like this, I could have tried to prepare better but I was blindsided due to the inaccuracy of the recruiter prep call and prep guide document. The engineers in my on-site were also completely uninterested in answering thoughtful questions I put together after reading articles and doing research on the company. By the end of the interview, I was no longer interested in working with the team.
