General Interview Process at Bloomberg for Software Engineering Role: The interview process consisted of five rounds in total, starting directly with a technical phone screen — no online assessment was involved. 1. First Interview (Phone Screen): This was a 45-minute technical interview with one engineer. The experience was friendly and conversational. I was asked a coding problem related to stacks. The interviewer was supportive, and it felt like a smooth introduction to the process. 2. Second Interview (Panel): This round stood out — it was conducted by two interviewers simultaneously, and the dynamic between them felt like a “good cop, bad cop” routine. One was encouraging while the other was more direct and critical. The problem itself was challenging and required efficient implementation under pressure, with follow-up questions focused on edge cases and optimization. Despite my efforts, I struggled with the intensity of this round and wasn’t able to fully meet the expectations. I wasn’t moved forward in the process after this.

The process was fast I applied online in December and got an email to schedule interview next day itself. I selected a slot for the following week and it was very well structured
