J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bloomberg (New York, NY) en nov. 2016
Entretien
First round of interview was a brief phone call with an HR representative. Second round was a super day at the headquarters in NYC. The superday consisted of shadowing an analytics person, touring the building, doing a quick group problem, independently doing work on a Bloomberg terminal, and then two interviews with one manager each from Analytics and Sales.

Entretien
First round interview was a phone call that went over my CV. Basic questions took only about 10-15 minutes.
Second round I was invited to the 731 Lex office in NYC. I toured with an Analytics representative, make sure to pay attention to what they are doing and get an understanding of your day to day activities. Ask the rep a lot of questions as well. After shadowing with the rep I had a video conference interview with two managers in the SF division. They asked me questions regarding the role and whether I understood what the position entitles. I went over my resume and gave them real life experiences. I talked a little about current events. I also gave a quick sales pitch. This round is mainly seeing if your qualified and understand what you're doing. They will ask you finance and sales related questions.
Third round interview I was invited back to 731 Lex, this time everything taken care of by Bloomberg. I met with the head of the North American Analytics department. She asked me questions regarding the culture within the company. Also, a lot of questions regarding my personality and ethics.
I received a call a couple of days later saying that I received the position. I was then emailed my offer letter and given a date to accept, sign, and send over the paperwork.
I also recommend becoming qualified in Bloomberg's BESS Program offered on the terminals.
