Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Bloomberg (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di nov 2020
Colloquio
Personality test
Video interview
Technical test with stats, python and sql questions
First round interview including a 15 min workflow task (they give you a random workflow process and you have to explain how you can make the process more efficient/ what you would change)
Second round interview
Third round interview
They asked more or less the same questions for each round which I answered the same so I’m not sure why I didn’t get through. But in the final round they were asking some irrelevant questions about financial assets unrelated to the job spec. I was told to prepare for why Bloomberg and read up on the job spec, the last interview is supposed to be about you as a person ie your hobbies and interests outside of work. None of these kinds of questions were asked. After reading some of the reviews on here I won’t apply again as I feel they like to waste people’s time. As much as I need a job my time is still important and should be respected.
I think ultimately they do have a staff retention issue as they like to hire overqualified people to do mostly customer service and excel based copy & paste tasks. Their staff become unfulfilled and leave. If you are hired here for an entry level position, I would strongly advise you to make the most of the opportunities they offer and cut loose after 2 years before you get stuck with experience but no transferable hard skills.
