Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied online and 2 days later I received an email back asking to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was straight forward. They asked Why do you want to work here? and basically walked right through my resume. They asked questions like: Why Finance?, Where do you see yourself in 5 years?, Why do you want to leave your current job? and other questions about my resume and college.

Next I was brought in for a super day of sorts at the Bloomberg offices (which are gorgeous). For the first hour and a half I toured the office and was introduced to the basics of the Bloomberg terminal. Next I shadowed an analyst and then I shadowed a senior analyst. I was then interviewed by 2 woman who asked me pretty straight forward questions as well. I asked them some good questions in return. The 2 on one interview lasted between 30 and 35 minutes. I thought I did well but I guess I wasnt what they were looking for.
