    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Very nice internship. I learnt a lot about the financial data industry and financial technology. Good opportunities for personal and professional development, and you feel very welcome from the first day.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very valued - they really appreciated your efforts and hard work, which was really encouraging and motivating. This does not only apply to co-workers, but also team leaders and managers.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • To a large extent - everyone was super helpful and available if you had any question or needed guidance.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • With daily tasks, personal projects, group projects, and presentation, you had enough to do on a daily basis. However, the balance was good.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • At Bloomberg, you get responsibility if you take responsibility. You own your projects, and you are fully responsible for the success of them. When you then deliver, it is recognised, which is rewarding.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My academic background is rather uncommon in finance and tech, so the skills won't really assist me in my studies. However, professionally, I developed a lot, both hard and soft skills, and these skills will definitely assist me in the future.

    4/5

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
