Typical hiring process where a sourcing coordinator contacted me to arrange a time for phone screen with the recruiter. I applied in October and heard from the sourcer in November. After passing that recruiter phone screen, I moved on to the second round of phone interview with a committee that included the hiring manager and a colleague from the department. I passed that round and was invited to interview on site in the beginning of December. These on-site interviews took approximately 5 hours total and I met with more than 12 people. Bloomberg does not inform candidates with the names of the people you will meet in person -- this leaves you to prepare as broadly as possible but it would have been helpful to understand how many people I'd meet with and the different functions/roles of each person. The interview questions were not difficult in and of themselves, but the length of the interview overall and the number of people you speak with at one time were drawbacks, though likely necessary in their process. I appreciate that this hiring committee was assembled to represent many of the people this role would be working with on a daily basis, so I understand why Bloomberg wanted to be comprehensive. In my experience, other companies do provide the number of people you'll interview with, and the interviewers' names, so I found Bloomberg's practice to be out of the ordinary. The Bloomberg recruiter at the end of my on-site (different person than who I had been corresponding with) explained they do not share this information in the event that the candidate is a dud and needs to be shown the door after the first pair of interviewers. After trading emails in mid December, the recruiter explained the hiring panel was not able to decide where they stood with my application, due to the upcoming holidays. About one and a half months later in February, I got a robo-email survey asking me about my interview experience - I laughed out loud! That only meant they closed my application. It would have been preferable to get a form email saying that the hiring panel passed on my application or that the role had been filled with another candidate, instead of a survey asking about my interview experience. I didn't expect a personal email from the recruiter, but this robo-survey was surprising from a company that gets repeatedly high scores on employee satisfaction. What a shame that Bloomberg hiring doesn't finish strong here! This is where Bloomberg can improve - send an email informing that the position is closed before you ask me to give you feedback on your process.
