Current Status : Undergraduate Student, Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering
Postion : Software Engineering Intern @ Bloomberg, London
Location : London, UK
I came to know about the opening from their careers page and applied there.
Interview Process:
- Phone Interview (30 mins):
- Self Introduction (very short)
- Algorithmic problem:
- Given a target and a list of numbers, find two numbers in that list that sum up to that number.
- Write and explain iterative and recursive binary search algorithms.
- Given a target and a list of numbers, find three numbers in that list that sum up to that number.
Bloomberg Interviews are highly dependent on algorithmic knowledge and they just see your projects and development experiences for shortlisting candidates. Later, you’ll encounter just problem solving scenarios. Until the onsite interviews, where it depends on you and your interviewer.
The interviewer wanted as many test cases you can generate on your own. Be careful with corner cases and give proper thought on them before answering.
