The candidate shared a disappointing experience interviewing for the New Grad 2025 SDE role at Bloomberg in December 2024. Despite extensive preparation, the interview process was perceived as unprofessional.
Phone Interview: The interviewer in this round was engaged and personable, making it a positive experience.
Onsite 1: This round involved two interviewers who were described as "utterly disengaged." They muted their microphones for most of the session and mentioned being busy with other work. The candidate felt a "dead vibe" from them. Despite coding the most optimal solution, the experience left a negative impression due to the lack of respect and professionalism.
Overall Experience: The candidate felt their time and effort were not valued and would not recommend applying to Bloomberg based on this experience.
