The Role
My internship was a great experience to kick-start my career as a recent graduate and working on different projects challenged me and allowed me to step out of my comfort zone.
My colleagues made an effort to get to know me on a personal level which left me feeling valued every day I came in to work.
Support and guidance at Bloomberg is incredible and since transparency is a big element of the culture of the company it is very easy to communicate about any issues you might come across.
I believe I was relatively busy during the day but also had enough time to work on other tasks such as learning about certain departments I found interesting, shadowing different employees and calling clients.
I was given a lot of responsibility during the internship including participating in projects, contributing with new ideas, and I feel like it was a right balance of responsibility where I did not feel too much pressure.
I learned a wide range of skills such as collaboration, innovation and teamwork which will definitely benefit me both in my personal and professional life.
The Company
The atmosphere is very friendly, open and comfortable.
The placement, social events and activities were set up very well and ran smooth.
The company invested in plenty of training sessions for us and helped me identifying my areas of development.
