Overview
My role involves writing code, discussing system architecture, attending team meetings, handling tickets (occasionally).
Skills
I've learned a new programming language Typescript, and several other tools like Docker, Jenkins, Comdb2, RabbitMQ. I've developed my C++ programming skills, understanding of testing, and skills in using Git.
Responsibilities
Yes. I'm have my own project to work on and was responsible for the whole lifecycle of an application, from its design to development and then to deployment.
Support & Guidance
I received good support and guidance from my mentor, my TL and other team members. I could always find someone to talk to and seek suggestions from when needed, and people here at Bloomberg are always happy to explain the whole picture of things when asked.
Culture
The culture is very engineer friendly. It's open and supportive, and encourages communication and knowledge sharing between teams. The work-life balance is also great.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my internship very much. I worked on challenging and meaningful things, and received good support. I learned a lot of new things and improved on my programming skills in general. The social life was also great. I enjoyed the social events organized by the company, and I found it very nice to meet new people and hang out together.
Yes
Go for it. It's a really nice place to work at. Be prepared for the system design interview.
