Overview
Heard from a number of employees over the course of the week offering insight into their departments and what the roles actually entail. This ranged from buy and sell-side players to analytics and sales professionals. A very holistic learning experience was provided as there was a wide variety of opportunities to interact in challenges and Q&A sessions.
Skills
The terminal is a central part of Bloomberg's operations and so we were exposed to this from day 1. I developed my ability to use the Terminal for analysis purposes, extracting information from their data sources quickly and accurately.
Business Insight
It was very comprehensive, however given I had applied to a specific division of Bloomberg I found some of the information to not be as relevant to me. With that said, it was helpful to look into other roles in order to solidify my interests.
Culture
Friendly, authentic, and clear. The culture felt very different from typical financial services (because it is FS adjacent), and this is definitely a positive. All but one person we heard from was incredibly friendly and able to communicate very effectively. This aspect was a big highlight for me.
Your Impressions
The insight week was remote due to the ongoing pandemic which detracted from the overall experience, but Bloomberg is obviously not responsible for this. I learnt a lot and made some new connections with peers so the opportunity delivered many positive outcomes.
Yes
Emphasise a willingness to learn and a demonstrable interest in financial markets and client service. The main business stream revolves around being able to communicate and work well with others so this is clearly important if considering a career at Bloomberg.
