    The Role

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

    • Bloomberg is a great place for interns. You are looked after, trained and definitely made to feel welcome by all of the employees. It could get a little repetitive at times and there is a high focus on statistics, but this was the only downside.

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

    • My team in Sales made me feel very valued and I was expected to contribute to the team's strategy. Analytics is busier and so there are less opportunities for you to make a direct contribution to a team.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • You are given support and are in touch with your managers at least once a week, however, some managers like to micromanage and this can be alienating,

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

    • Very, especially in Analytics.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A good amount! Sometimes there was a lack of communication which led to some interns feeling stretched as results were expected for different projects simultaneously.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Alot. You get a real exposure at Bloomberg and the skills are transferable, for instance, due diligence, working in teams, communication,

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Great! I was always excited to come to work in the mornings because it was lively and warm.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

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

    • Alot. You are given trainings in the first week on different asset classes, functions and aspects of Bloomberg to give you a well rounded knowledge of the firm. Throughout the internship we also had aalot of staff from all over the company give up their time to come and train us.

    Financial Bonus

    The Culture

    • 5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Bloomberg gives you breakfast and lunch. I have spent very little while on my internship and there is good travel access to the office. There are good bars around as well as food options.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Located right behind Shoreditch and Old St, the location is highly flexible for after work drinks.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Bloomberg loves Philanthropy and they put on alot of charity events for you to get involved in and they will match your hours of volunteering with money to go to your charity of choice.
