The Role
Really fun, really entertaining and challenging. You really do cool stuff that matters!
I felt like in a big family with a lot of support to integrate and get job done and a lot of activities to get to know other departments, people and Bloomberg culture.
My mentor was one of the best. It was really easy for me to reach him, my TL and my manager. They are really open and friendly and helped me a lot!
Our program as interns include cool project, that really can't bore you and they are combined perfectly with a lot of other activities involving other interns or other employees. Really fun and a lot to learn too.
Indeed yes! My project is really important and our goal as a teem is to get it to be known, used and extent because it will have a lot of impact on Bloomberg.
Besides developing my career and my professional skills in exactly which area I want I also developed skills for life: prepared to work in an environment, see how people interact in a teem, and how WE more that I or YOU can make a better job together! Really important.
The Company
I was really lucky to come in a company where people are funny, relaxed, positive and really looking forward to the next challenge!
A lot of weekly activities for us which were really great and really made us feel part of the company. A lot of new and exciting stuff that I learned about different departments and Bloomberg culture.
The company has a lot of courses in all the domains it activates. There are really cool courses and you really get to learn a lot from them.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
They are really open in this field if you are getting your job done and really know why you are here.
The Culture
We got along very well. Others were really sociable and made every day a really summer vacation day regarding the social part. Also I had all the support from them as well.
While having an internship at Bloomberg you could really afford getting out and socializing! Really great memorable summer!
There are a lot of people to hang up with, talk about different cultures and customs and you really get to think out of the box because of this lots and lots of social interactions.
If you want to do something and you struggle to do it there are no boundaries! There were a lot of opportunities I take in and a lot I regret not to take in because of too much of them.
