I applied to the Bloomberg Sales & Analytics program in late August and was contacted to set up a phone interview the next week. The phone interview was very brief with a pretty standard set of questions (personal background, why bloomberg, why finance, why sales, etc.). The next day I was invited to a morning event at Bloomberg HQ in Manhattan. This event consisted of two back-to-back thirty minute interviews, along with a tour of the facilities and a presentation on the Bloomberg Terminal. Overall, I thought the people I met were nice if a bit impersonal. My interview questions were mostly sales-related: what's most important in being a salesperson, how would you deal with demanding clients, etc. They also asked about what my ideal position would be and what my dream company would be besides Bloomberg. I'm always a little confused by this type of question because it's like I'm interviewing with you, why are you asking me about other companies/positions? I thought the interviews went well but I didn't end up being asked back for a final round. After the morning session, certain candidates were called forward and told they would have a final round interview that afternoon. Everyone else was told, "We'll be in touch," and it was pretty easy to figure out at that point that it was done. Basically, I thought this turn of events was quite abrupt. The senior salespeople conducting the interviews were meeting candidates non-stop during the time between my interview and the call for final rounds and I can't really fathom how they had time to sit and think and make their decisions. I kind of think that everything's based off their first impression of you. Overall, this left me a little put off about their whole process. It doesn't seem like that much thought goes into it honestly, but I suppose at a big company like Bloomberg, they have to move quickly.
