Email communication and setting up dates for interviews. Initial phone screen (technical coding problem - relaxed and not too difficult). On site technical test and behavioural interview (mixed questions and coding challenge - more difficult, two engineers and coding in language of choice with no intellisense). Didnt get the offer but did not perform at my best so not surprised.

The first-round interview lasted about an hour and included questions about my academic background, projects, and motivation for joining Bloomberg. The technical portion focused on data structures, algorithms, and a coding/problem-solving question. The interviewer was professional and interested in my reasoning process, not just the final answer. I received positive feedback afterward and was invited to the next stage of the process.
