  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Professional experience which has had much influence on my master decision. Very useful to understand how a big company such as Bloomberg works, what is behind "customer service" and how to efficiently manage on one side IT technologies / developments and on the other side finacial knoledge and customer relationships. Finally, it has been a beautiful personal experience: 10 weeks at Bloomberg helps also students to understand their career objectives.

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship experience is amazing. Indeed, being a big company tere are also many interns and I have met a lot of people with whome I still talk on a regular basis. Many activities are organised only for interns and parties as well.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
