Bloomberg · Software engineer · All levels
Warm, logistics-first conversation
The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.
Bloomberg’s published process. Lime marks the stage this round runs.
Built from what Bloomberg publishes about its own process and from real interview data. No leaked question lists. The questions you get are generated against your own resume, so they are not from anyone else's interview.
Confirms Bloomberg's two public SWE levels (Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer) and compensation. No interview-process detail on the page.
Confirms Blind 75 / Grind 75 as the canonical DS&A prep lists that map cleanly onto Bloomberg's coding topic set (arrays, strings, hashmaps, linked lists, trees, graphs).
Official source for the company blurb and any published engineering values/how-we-hire content. Bot-blocked to automated fetches (403, or 301 to a marketing page that 403s); a human can read it.
Sources last checked . Hiring loops change, so this date is the honest limit on everything above.
Brief intros, maybe one warm-up question, then straight into 1-2 DS&A problems in a shared editor
Same collaborative-but-persistent cadence as the phone screen, dialed up
A design-lite coding round, characteristic of Bloomberg: you model a small system in classes and then implement the core methods
A spoken, whiteboard/diagram discussion, mainly for experienced hires and often finance-data-flavored
Conversational, sometimes woven into other rounds or given a dedicated slot
