Hey!! I had my virtual onsite recently and would like to share my experience. For anyone preparing for virtual onsite or phone screen, I would like to list the following things which I thought helped me in some way.

  1. Leetcode Bloomberg Tagged : Get a premium subscription and go through this list. Most of your questions are going to be from this list or would be some form of variation of this questions.

  2. Make sure that you can atriculate your experience and projects on your resume: I followed the advice of this link and did really help https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/1211023/Bloomberg-2021-New-Grad-Software-Engineer

  3. Prepare for questions like: Why Bloomberg? Challenges faced during an internships or projects and many other behavioral questions you can find here in the discuss section.

  4. Be prepared for questions outside of leetcode tagged questions.

I did great in the Phone screen got two questions. One was not leetcode but can be found on the discuss section(words in a book something like that) and the other was leetcode tagged.
For virtual onsite 1st round I explained my project. For technical questions I got two leetcode tagged was able to solve both optimally. Then, came the second round the interviewer was uninterested from the start. The question I was asked was ouside of leetcode. Wasn't even able to understand the question, I asked the interviewer to explain it with example but the examples were even more confusing. They were not really helpful in general and were yawning alot while talking. I dont know if they understand this or not but it is really discouraging to see an interviewer uninterested. He asked me to code what I was thinking. Finally, was not asked to appear for the HR round and by what I have read here in discuss section, I would be recieving a rejection mail anytime soon.

Best of luck everyone!!
