Bloomberg Intelligence Intern Review

I loved the fact that I spent the first three weeks with a Strategy Team and then focused on the primer. The first three weeks made me think more globally, using macro data while the second part was concentrated on the company-specific information. I loved that Bloomberg is encouraging cooperation and willingness to help. I shadowed different departments and was able to get a better understanding of what it means to work in these particular teams. I wished that there were projects to work on alongside an Analyst too, so can learn more

I would say writing one primer adds value by expanding the coverage by one company, which is great, and I heard that my primer will be used and part of it published in two weeks. The timing worked well and the Analyst sees a good fit there, so pretty good contribution. One more primer in the Consumer Discretionary sector will be a good addition to the Consumer Staples segment as well, as it has overlapping metrics and trends affecting the performance

I got a good one-hour industry overview and what key metrics to look for. Mainly, it was an explanation why certain metrics matter and why the change in business operations can affect the performance in a specific way. I think I got a solid guidance in terms what I should start with and where to get the data.

I was not under stress but I always knew that I had a project going. The project did not include just a written part but also creating a dashboard, so learning and improving both parts simultaneously took time. The news was coming pretty much every day, peer companies were reporting, new M&A deals so there was always something to do.

I was totally accountable for my project, and it was my responsibility if there was something wrong with the data or something is missing. However, I would not say it was extremely overwhelming or unrealistic. I personally love challenges so the more new tasks the better, I reached out when I had nothing to do right away but it was my call.

I study Finance, and very passionate about investments, so being an intern in BI definitely helped me to broaden my view and consolidate the knowledge. I improved my analytical skills by interpreting the data and trying to quantify its effect in a bigger picture, what direction the company performance will tilt more based on the factual figures.

Great! Nice, clean and has a lot of space. Do not feel stuck in a room with 100+ people with no windows and fresh air.

From day 1 I knew what my 10 weeks placement will include and what the deadlines for the project were, as well as bigger scale meetings and the opportunity to do something additional

Bloomberg provides lots of opportunities like Bloomberg University and supporting collaboration!

FANTASTIC! Could not ask for a better environment, would love to come back!

Yes, I would say every second week!

Cost of living was high for me, but I guess locals got used to it I was socializing a lot...various places to visit

did not discover it

YES, walking tour, berry-picking farm, and free events!
