Overview
Spent two days per week in the classroom, learning about different asset classes and how to use the terminal from current employees. The other three days were spent with a sales team, talking to clients over the phone and meeting with them at their offices to ensure they are utilizing the terminal properly. There were 4 group projects that are worked on throughout and presented near the end of the internship.

Responsibilities
Yes, we were able to speak to clients independently from week 2. We were encouraged to book and attend client meetings as well as meet with pretty much anyone from within the company at any time.
Support & Guidance
I was assigned a manager and mentor for both Sales and Analytics who were happy to talk at any time and answer any questions that I had.
Culture
Generally positive company culture. No expectation to stay in the office past 6pm and no unnecessary pressure from anyone.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the experience and learnt a lot that I will take forward into future roles.
Yes
Be authentic and genuine. It is okay not to know everything and as long as you are not arrogant and are willing to learn, you will do well at Bloomberg.
