I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer role at Bloomberg in Pune. The interview covered resume discussion, core CS fundamentals including Java vs C++, Binary Trees, BSTs, AVL and Red-Black Trees, and a graph traversal DSA problem similar to Bus Routes. I felt comfortable with most parts and am awaiting feedback.
I applied directly to Bloomberg for a Senior Software Engineer role in Pune with 5.5 years of experience. The interview process included an online assessment with medium/hard LeetCode problems, followed by a technical interview with a Candy Crush variation question and a system design round for a ride-sharing service. Despite a solid approach to the DSA question, I struggled with the system design round's trade-off discussions and was rejected.
I experienced a three-round interview process for a Software Development Engineer role at Bloomberg, which included a coding challenge on implementing a simplified grep, a problem on calculating friend requests based on age rules, and a behavioral round.
I recently interviewed at Bloomberg for a Senior Software Engineer role in NYC. After successfully passing phone screens for three teams, I advanced to an onsite interview for one specific team. Unfortunately, despite a good experience, I did not receive an offer.
I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer position at Bloomberg in November 2025, undergoing several technical rounds. Unfortunately, I did not receive an offer to proceed further, but I am sharing the problems I encountered to assist others in their preparation.
Applied for a web dev role at Bloomberg in NYC. After a standard HR screening round, I faced a technical interview with a mix of a coding problem and a code analysis question. The interview ended with a rejection.
I had a 1-hour phone screen for a Senior SWE role at Bloomberg in Frankfurt. The interview involved a 30-minute resume discussion and a 30-minute coding session on HackerRank, where I tackled a problem similar to 'Minimum Remove to Make Valid Parentheses'. Despite solving it, I was rejected in a week.
I had a telephone screen with Bloomberg where I was asked to design a data structure for a horse race with specific add and get methods.
