Date of the Offer: June 2022
Total Rounds: 8:
R1- Phone Screen - Top LC Tagged Medium. I didn't knew the question beforehand but was able to solve it optimally. Initially, only one team was interested to interview me but after my phonescreen, the team that took phone screen also became interested so had to give team leader and EM rounds for both the teams. Onsites were scheduled around 2 weeks later.
R2- LC Easy. The question was pretty simple but asked a lot of questions on implementation around different scenarios like multi-threading, caching etc recursive vs iterative. The interview was very short ~30mins out of which 10 mins went into intros and all.
R3 - LLD. Based on their existing Codebase had to implement few functions of a class. Question was between Easy-Medium.
R4 - Recruiter - Simple Interview feedback questions, Salary expectations. (I was a bit surprised that salary expectations are discussed when some of the rounds are still pending but it gave me some confidence).
R5 - Team Leader1 - Mostly discussion on past projects in detail.
R6 - Team Leader2 - Same as Round 5.
R7 - EM1 - Non Technical discussion on projects and what the team does and all.
R8 - EM2 - Same as Round 7
Was asked Why Bloomberg and why are you leaving in almost every interview round so be prepared.
Conclusion: I found the interview rounds pretty simple considering the amount of preparation I have done for past 1 year.
