  • 5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Very insightful training provided, relevant to the work department. This was a remarkable couple of days spent learning more about the Fintech industry directly from people working in it, from entry-level employees, to senior employees with years of experience. It really encouraged me to form my own opinion about whether a career in the industry is right for me, and how to start such a career. This experience also included a fantastic customer support training workshop.

  • A very informative experience, with a steep learning curve, including: - learning about different department from BCS to analytics to global data to technology operations - talking to many new people, with a diverse range of motivations, ambitions, and stories - developing my skills through workshops on customer support training - developing my technical skills through Project Innovate case study in a team of 6, culminating in a group presentation to senior employees

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Very helpful, the people represent the company culture the best, and we had a chance to speak to over 25 employees. An exciting insight into a fast-paced industry. This experience complemented my passion for learning and developed my strong interest in pursuing a future career at Bloomberg.

    3/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Valuable as we had a chance to understand the development and training Bloomberg would provide to entry level employees. We also had a chance to speak to a number of employees at the firm, who had completed summer internships and then returned to a full time role. An inspiring 3 days spent with an incredible, diverse team of professionals, who definitely took the time out of their day to show us the daily operations of a global operation.
