Sales and analytics intern Review

I enjoyed it a lot. The learning curve was steep from day one and Bloomberg invested in us a lot without a doubt. Also a unique feature of Bloomberg is that we were asked every week to provide feedback on the internship program and they took these into consideration during the program itself. The corporate culture is fantastic! However, sometimes some teams were a bit disorganized with what to give the interns to do.

The atmosphere at Bloomberg is warm and welcoming. Every individual is respected as they are and interns are treated as equal colleagues. We were also challenged by the full-time employees. Communication between everyone as easy and painless. Furthermore, the corporate culture encourages to show your cultural differences and convert them into a strength in the organization.

My managers would have bi-weekly 1-2-1 with me where we would have enough time to discuss my progress, challenges and next steps. Did not feel like I struggled alone with anything - managers wanted to make sure that we would succeed in what we do. Furthermore, you would have just casual coffee catch ups and possibilities to network with them.

Towards the end of the internship more and more as you became more engaged with various departments and employees. But the pace of the days became never unbearable and you still had influence on your schedule. It was also more than all right to reschedule things - everybody understood as they are also busy.

We were given a lot of responsibility with regards of communication to clients. After one week of training we were trusted to talk straight with various stakeholders of the company and present them with functions. We were also given free hands to include items in our pitches and improvising. This type of actions were usually awarded rather than discarded.

I certainly understand the dynamics of the financial markets way better (in university we focus a lot on theoretical aspects and don't see the reality), concepts and the roles that people in the financial industry work with. This internship certainly helped me with getting a hunch about what I want to do in the future and what not.

The atmosphere was positive, buzzy and innovative. Everyone likes to network across departments and get to know new people. Employees were curious, culture were very diverse and open at the same time. Bloomberg has strong values that are clearly visible when entering the office and in the daily work of employees.

We had a packed schedule and clear structure of managers, TLs, mentors etc. We also knew the point of contacts when we had various questions about program. Furthermore, there was a team page with FAQ and HR was always prompt in answering any questions we had.

Bloomberg invested a lot in us. We received one week initial training. After starting to work we always received training before having to start to work with a project. Nobody expected one to know something prior to getting training.

There is a lot of potential in the employer.

Bloomberg had organized a lot of events from touring london to mini golf etc. Also during the work we went volunteering or had a career fair.

Very expensive. My student accommodation was 1080 pounds per month. Food was cheaper.
