I applied to Bloomberg at my school's career fair in Fall 2019. I was asked to interview with them the next week on campus for an in-person interview. It was a 2-on-1 interview, with an initial design question then a relatively simple algorithms questions. The interviewers were rather rude and were even laughing (seemingly at me) at points and one was on his computer a lot of the time. I was surprised when, at the end of the interview, they asked me to come back the next day on the spot. The second interviewers were much nicer. They asked an open-ended design question and I sat and drew it out for them while they asked questions about different potential problems with it that I had to respond to and reconfigure the design when necessary. I received an email a week later that I they would not be moving forward.

Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
