Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Bloomberg nel mese di mar 2022
Colloquio
1st round phone screen asked for introduction and an interesting project on your resume. I guess my project was not interesting enough. Got interrupted and moved on to coding problems suddenly. All of which made it looked like it was just a process. They don't really care about what it was as long as you described it cheerfully.
The first question was to design a subway class that has a method to get the average passing time between 2 stations in a time complexity O(1). The interviewer gave it as if it was a system design question. Talked about consuming other objects as well. When I stuck, he just randomly hinted me with a checkIn(int id, string stationName, int t) method that I could design first. After the interview I googled and it appeared to be leetcode #1396, but he described it in a much complexing and confusing way. There's no chance a candidate would understand his hit if they hadn't done the same problem before.
The second question was more of a traditional coding problem that I was expected. I googled later, similar to flatten a multilevel LinkedList (#430).
It was hard for a new grad, not to mention for a candidate who don't have cs background. This company doesn't welcome non-cs not as they emphasize. The whole value diversity thing is a fraud. They just want a leetcode machine who have at least done/memorized 500+ medium-hard problems and can talk code. Seriously, no wonder most of the posts are no-offers.
Lastly, don't apply if you haven't done/memorize much of leetcode. Otherwise it will be only humiliation.

I was reached out by the recruiter directly through LinkedIn. I was asked one medium and one hard LeetCode-style question, with a few follow-ups. It started with a general introduction.

5 rounds they are all bloomberg tagged question i didn’t pass em round went deep in tour resume another leetcode question and q&a at the end. In retrospect, i thought I did well but maybe their bar this year is high.

5 rounds 3 tech 1 hr 1 em - they asked a couple leetcode mediums and I know others have gotten some hards I think you should prep the leetcode tagged they are asked a lot
