    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my experience at Bloomberg. The program was very well structured and the integration within the teams was very smooth and natural. The training provided regarding the terminal and the financial markets was very useful.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • From day one I felt I was part of the team. Never felt like an intern, people valued my opinions and challenged me. From day one I got along with both my teams and also with the interns, so the experience was amazing.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • In the Sales department I receive an immense support from my line manager, in sales projects but also for the final roleplay and internship presentations.We had a one to one on a regular basis to provide feedback and help me with all questions. In Analytics I received mainly the support from my buddy who was open to every question I might had.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • On the analytics day, our schedule was very structured so we were busy the entire day. In sales, I was in a travelling team so the team was often away, however they still were able to give me different projects and provide a great amount of feedback. Projects include different calling campaigns and prospecting as well as free time to shadow other departments and prepare my own projects.

    4/5
