A call with an HR, then an easy interview with a developer. Then I was invited to the virtual onsite, broken into 5 interviews over 3 days. I was informed that if I fail any of the days they will let me know and I will not proceed to the next one. On the 2nd day I logged to the meeting, but no one was there. After 15 minutes of waiting I wrote to the HR and he responded: oh yeah, you didn't make it to the next round, I just forgot to tell you, sorry. I failed interviews before in my life, but it was by far the most humiliating way I was told about it. I was honestly shocked. BTW, all of the interviewers were pretty nice and professional, although I've had some difficulties understanding their accents (I'm Russian, all of them were Indian, I assume). Also, Bloomberg was hiring for a concrete position and not to the company in general, which always reduces the chances.

To pass these interviews you need to prepare for a week . It goes beyond standard algorithms , for example , their expectations on a string search algorithm included Trie and the likes , and on linked lists - separate synchronization of heads and tails.
