A senior software engineer described their Bloomberg interview process on TeamBlind: ten different interviewers across nine one-hour sessions. They passed every technical screen, every system design round, every behavioural assessment. When the process finally reached the salary negotiation stage, the company pulled back. No offer. Ten people, nine hours, and the verdict came down to a number they never got to discuss. "Ten people interviewed me," the candidate wrote. "Zero of them could make a decision about money."
