We were divided into four 5-person groups and supposed to give a 20-second self-introduction in a format as “Name-graduate school-major-an interesting point of you” Then another two employees gave a brief introduction of Bloomberg, performance, this position and their main revenue and product. Everything was going under the interaction with interviewers. Then there were 2 tasks distributed to four groups: A group discussion & one debate. When 2 groups were discussion the debate materials, the other 2 were discussing the question.
