    The Company

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

    • It is a very fast paced environment here at Bloomberg. Everyone is walking about and it gets really busy sometimes. It encourages you to pull yourself up by the socks and blend in with the atmosphere in a positive manner. Bloomberg cultivates inclusion and this can be seen from the layout of the desks on all floors.
