The Role
I believe it's one of the best places to work in. The office, culture, and people create an unforgettable atmosphere.
I felt very good among both my intern friends and team members.
I was really taken care of. My mentor was always available to answer my (probably boring) questions. But he not only answered them, but also explain how the things work.
The work/life balance was perfect, the out of work activities both with another interns and with my team allowed me to be relax even during the working hours. The support from my team and from other interns allowed me to do things much faster than I would normally need.
I really like that I had an impact on the product, the changes I introduced had an impact on the working of the system, and will allow us to improve us our product.
I improved a lot, the code review given by my mentor allowed me to eliminate the mistakes I was previously doing.
The Company
The atmosphere couldn't be better. I felt responsible for my project, but also had the support from the rest of my team.
The internship was very well organized, every week we had multiple events. The events ranged from the one for the people with the engineering background, to the mixed of engineering and business events.
I think the company invested a lot in me. Starting with a weekly training session for the people starting the internship, up to the numerous events. Moreover the pantry full of food allowed not only to eat whenever I wanted but also to meet and get to know better other people.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
I highly consider Bloomberg as a future employer. I believe the flexible working hours, the perfect life/work balance, and interesting projects with very interesting people are very tempting.
The Culture
I get a chance to know other interns very well. The time we spent together allowed us to build a bond between each other.
The cost of leaving, considering the fact that the office is in the city center is not very bad. I lived so close, that I was able to walk to work everyday. The cost of the socializing was also quite good. A lot of our socializing events were initiated by the HR team, which allowed to decrease the cost of socializing in the city.
I believe the events organized by the HR allowed to get to know the Nighlife quite well. In case, when someone wanted to party a little bit more there is a party part of the city nearby.
A lot. We were attending weekly football games. Moreover we had a lot of outside of work events with another interns.
