It probably depends on what group you work with. I interviewed there a few years ago following a who's hiring post by you (thanks!), and the interviewers seemed to know what they were doing. Didn't work out for me, but it was the group owning the feed, IIRC. However, since then I've interviewed many candidates from Bloomberg, and while they were all very smart, their description of the work they did indicated systems that were at varying levels of WTF. In their defense this was most likely due to legacy reasons. Also, it's funny how Bloomberg candidates inevitably use multicast in their system design interviews, which throws most "web company" interviewers off balance :-)
