I was alerted to this position by a family friend who works in the hiring department at Bloomberg. Although the job consisted primarily of answering phones and fielding calls for the company, she assured me it was a great way to get into the company at the ground level. I was contacted not long after applying and was asked when I was available for a phone interview. I emailed back with a few convenient time slots and waited to hear back, but never got a response. I later sent a follow-up email, but still received nothing in return. I wrote the whole thing off until I was contacted by another Bloomberg employee three weeks later asking again to set up a phone interview, as if I had never been contacted before this. Again I responded, and this time was able to choose a time. My family friend prepped me for the interview, so I was able to answer all of my interviewer's questions easily. Immediately after the interview my friend texted me and told me the girl I had spoken to loved me and would be setting up a second interview shortly. No surprise, I never got an email. Later my family friend told me they'd been having a lot of "problems" in their HR department. Considering how respected a name Bloomberg is, I was shocked at how disorganized and unprofessional its hiring process was.

Thr process were straightforward and smooth. The interviewers were polite and friendly. The result came out not long after. It was an online interview call. The feedback were also provided.
