    The Role

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

    • Had a really nice time at Bloomberg internship. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the intern events most! They take really good care of their interns. The engineering department has a lot of tech debt though which does not always enable people to use newer & better tools/technologies for their jobs.
