Hi, I am starting at Bloomberg NYC in a couple weeks and I have couple questions:

- What type of laptop do I get? Is it team dependent? Do I get any sort of choice? Hoping for a new MBP.
- Whats the dress code? I would assume slightly classier than your normal tech company, but I am not sure.
- The vaccine is required, but is the booster? I am not sure I will have a chance to get the booster before I start.
- How are the snacks? Is there stuff besides pre-packaged/processed stuff? Like fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc.
- How's the coffee? I'm a bit of a coffee snob :)
- What time do you generally arrive at the office?
- Any other weird/interested benefits or perks I should be aware of?

Thanks

      EM round was mostly behavioral. We talked though past situations and projects, and how I handled various situations. I would say pretty standard.

  • 1 - saw cases you could choose, but common case is you getting a windows laptop
    2 - business social on first day, rest is team dependent, but I saw people going with converse and hoodies.
    3 - booster not required
    4- yes, fruits and other stuff, but expect healthy stuff
    5- Lot of coffee options, I like them
    6- first day you will need to arrive at 8-9, rest depend on your team
    7- you will learn about them during your training and getting around

  • I joined last year and I was given choice of Laptop- either windows or Mac
    Dress code- no dress code in engineering
    Snacks are nice and healthy. You get most of the fruits at least in London office
    Coffee is good
    Time to arrive depends on your team it’s generally flexible allowing you to skip the peak hours of traffic
    Perks- free museum tickets I guess
