The process consisted of three separate interviews on subsequent days with three separate Software Developers and Team Leaders at Bloomberg. It primarily consisted of questions designed to ascertain my programming knowledge and ability to code on the fly. Questions varied from the specific, such as, how would you code a least common multiple algorithm, how would you detect a loop in a linked list. To the more general, such as given a very abstract high level diagram of the Bloomberg Terminal, and asked how you would setup and improve the communication between the Bloomberg and it's Clients. Since I primarily applied with a PhD in statistics, a few questions on financial mathematics were included, such as what is the Black-Scholes model, what are it's weaknesses, what models would you suggest, what do you mean by fat tails? However since it was obvious rather quickly my statistical knowledge was far fresher and more up to date then my coding ability, which had been dormant for around five years, they didn't spend too much time on the Statistics side of the questions. The interview ended with a brief one on one with a person from H:R that asked me some of the standard questions you see on "online interview aids". Like why do you want to work at Bloomberg, and I see you've got extensive teaching experience, do you plan to go into Academia. What other areas are you applying to other then Finance, etc. The bulk of the interview process, thus contained mainly knowledge based questions unrelated to what you find in most interview help books and resources.
