Entrevista
Applied online to the Financial Sales and Analytics Training Program on the Bloomberg site, an HR assistant emailed me the next day to schedule a phone interview. I made the phone interview for early on the following week. After the phone interview they called me back 3 hours later offering to fly me into NYC for a 2nd round interview at the Lexington Headquarters. I flew out to NYC the following week; they paid for my flights, paid for 1 night in a nice hotel, paid for accommodations to and from the airport in a Lincoln Town Car, and finally gave me a 75 dollar gift card to cover any additional expenses (I know right! Sweet!).
I showed up that morning and was taken in for a 2:1 interview. They asked me common questions but focused on the fact that I was interested in the global economy/markets and there would be great room for advancement for me at their company. Afterwards I was taken around, given a tour of the building, the Bloomberg tools were explained to me, and finally I shadowed several employees performing day-to-day functions.
There were about 6 other prospective employees there, we were then dismissed 2 at a time and all of us were presumably told we would get a call back in 1-2 weeks. It's day two of the wait for me so I'm not worried yet.

How would you prioritize addressing questions asked by a CEO who wants to understand how to use a function on the terminal, a portfolio manager who can't process a trade, and a new employee who needs a tutorial on how to access certain charts and data.

The first round interview was done in the following process:
1. Enter Bloomberg building and get invited to a meeting room.
2. The HR lady explained about the company, working culture, the role and its career path. Successful candidate will be provided training for about 8 weeks, take a few exams. After that, you would become a generalist and work in the Analytic team for a while. Then, you will again receive training from Bloomberg. If successful, you can choose to be a Team Leader in Analytic team, Financial Sales, or Advanced Specialist. This is the career path they suggested.
3. After explanation, you will be asked to give a brief self-introduction and tell them why you are interested in Bloomberg and apply this position.
4. Then, candidates will be divided into groups. A (role-play) scenario with a task will be assigned to each group. The group is expected to give a group presentation, try to convince the other HR lady (who will try to give you a tough time) and complete the task as specified. The HR will observe your communication skills and determine whether you are shortlisted.
I was shortlisted. However, I didn't want to go to second round interview. From the phone, I was told a team leader/manager in the Analytic team will attend the second round interview and they really want the candidates have passion about Bloomberg and the positions they applied.

I originally applied through my school's career database. The school contacted me within 2-3weeks and told me that I was accepted to interview with the two representatives that were coming to our school. The interview was 2:1 where they asked me basic questions about myself and my resume, cover letter, etc. This first interview lasted 30min or so. About a month later I was emailed by and HR representative informing me they wanted to meet with me in New York. THey paid for my transportation, and lunch. Upon getting to the office I was given a tour of the building, and I shadowed one of the employees for an hour or so. I then met with my interviewer, and spoke with her for about an hour. She basically wanted to get a feel for why I am interested in finance, and why Bloomberg. They didn't ask any complicated questions, just a getting a better feel for me and how well I know and understand the company.
