J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bloomberg en oct. 2018
Entretien
I applied online without any referrer. After ~2 weeks they wrote me they wanted a phone interview with me. I chose preferred at their site.
The duration was 1 hour, first of all, the interview asked me typical questions like "why Bloomberg" and "what was the hardest problem you have solved during your last project". After that, I was asked to solve a medium difficulty task and then I was asked some technologies questions like "what if we reach the end of a non-function without any return statement in C++?", "what is a vector, what is time complexity of push_back and why" and "what is the stack memory, can you name the difference between it and other types of memory?".
I liked this interview (it was my first interview experience, but I think I can see the difference between bad and good interview).
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
You have some weird language which has some alphabet, but since the alphabet is hard, we will work with latin transcription. Given an alphabet (sequence of letter combination, each describes a letter of the original alphabet transcripted to Latin) and the list of words. We also consider all words are written correctly and it's right to pick every letter combination greedy (the longest combination is prefered). We have to sort our list in alphabet order.
For example:
If the alphabet is {"b", "bc", "aa", "c"} and the list is {"aab", "baa", "bcb", "bbc"}, then the sorted list will be { "bbc", "baa", "bcb", "aab"}

Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
