J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bloomberg (New York, NY) en oct. 2019
Entretien
Phone interview on hackerrank, a pretty good one. The interviewer was very nice and professional. Then onsite in New York. Two rounds with two members each. The first one was pretty good, both interviewers were nice and leading you to solve the problem step by step. Second round was system design. Messed up some silly but medium difficult problem (shame on it). One of the interviewers made me nervous. Felt not good, no following interview. Got rejected next day
First round was with HR, who were helpful and transparent around details including process, salary range and job expectations. Had a second-round technical screen for one hour. Started with questions around experience followed by a coding problem. I found it challenging but the interviewers were polite, helpful and fair. Unfortunately did not make it through to the virtual onsite, but the process was fair and appropriate to the role.
Terrible communication. Got passed between 3 different recruiters all of whom gave specific dates for updates and blew past them. Descriptions of what would be covered in the interviews are wholly inaccurate (don’t bother reading the PDF they sent to “prep” you, almost none of it came up in any of the 3 interviews I did with them.)
Interviewers themselves were decent but clearly had exact “right” answers they were looking for. What’s the point of a leetcode question where there’s only one way to implement it? What’s the point of a system design interview where you’re having a candidate parse through a complex system that they clearly already know everything about and are just looking for 1-2 EXACT modifications to check off their boxes? Was there even a right answer? I genuinely don’t know what this company was looking for. Waste of time, waste of effort, waste of resources. Avoid, avoid, avoid
