I applied online since I was contacted via the Bloomberg Institute's Talent Search on the basis of my language skills. I applied online with my resume, cover letter and answers to a few questions. I was asked to take the CAT assessment test within 3 days or so of applying. Then I was asked to do a video recorded interview after another few days. Contrary to what others have said, I did not get two tries and my questions were different. My initial email said that I would get a chance to answer some practice questions and I can start recording when I feel comfortable but the interview process did not indicate practice questions and started counting down from 30 seconds after you click on the question. The responses also had a time limit. This contrast made me a bit frantic and more nervous than I already was and all my research and practice went out the window. I get that they want candidates who do well under pressure but I felt a bit mislead and of course, I did not receive an offer but I understand why. What I don't understand is the review submission portion if I can't do anything to change it. I called yello tech support but they couldn't help me at all at the time since I only had time to do my interview late after my current job so keep that in mind should you run into technical issues. Overall, it was a great learning experience and I will say that the turn around time of their application process has been the best out of the companies I've applied for. I will list the questions of the interview but don't pay too much attention to them. Just do your research, practice and most of all...be calm! 1. Introduce yourself 2. Why the analytics team? 3. If you were meeting a client for the first time, what would you do before, during and after the meeting? 4. Explain how one of the following events affect the financial markets, a) brexit, b) china's growth or c) u.s. monetary policy. 5. Bloomberg's core product is the Terminal but discuss other financial products and services Bloomberg offers. 6. Why you're a good candidate (provide at least 3). 7. Explain the day-to-day role of analytics team. Good luck!
