I interviewed for a role with Bloomberg TV and the entire process felt beneath the reputation they try to project. There were two rounds, one virtual and one in person, barely an hour in total. It felt rushed, careless, and not reflective of the seriousness a global news brand should carry. One interviewer took notes. The other did not. Neither showed real curiosity or created any sense of dialogue. The senior decision-maker in particular avoided eye contact and came across as disengaged. It felt as though they were simply running through the motions, not genuinely interested in who I am or what I could contribute. For an institution that prides itself on excellence, the experience was unpolished and uninspiring. After weeks of silence, I received a curt rejection with no feedback. That was the final touch. It was impersonal, thoughtless, and disappointing. Their hiring process showed none of that attention or care. I will not be applying to Bloomberg TV again. A company that treats potential candidates with so little respect reflects poorly on its culture.

Interview process includes five rounds with seniors along the job hierarchy, starting with HR, ending with global head of TV. Questions are around TV news production, editorial judgements, ideas for guests and stories etc.
