    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Brilliant insight into all aspects of the Company.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • During the numerous networking events that they ran on the event, many of the people who interviewed me recognised me, the work I did towards a debate at the end of the week was also valued by those running the Boot Camp despite my non-financial background.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Never afraid to ask anybody any kind of question, whether about the workplace, the people etc everyone was very forthcoming.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Very good basic grounding in finance and economics for me as a non-finance student at University, will definitely be useful in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well organised, both Thomas and Dale had clearly put in plenty of work to make it run like clockwork.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Generally very good, everyone very upbeat, but at times towards the end of the day people did start to lag, but usually morale was high.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Having actually been interviewed for the 10 week internship that they run, but due to the year I graduate not being able to do it and therefore being offered this insight, I would say a lot.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • It showed you the full workings of the company in London, the jobs people would be doing in each department etc, very thorough.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Bloomberg has a very distinctive culture and you can see that in the people it hires, it was very clear to me the type of person Bloomberg look for and how important the company's culture is to it's employees.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Very useful, a brilliant insight into the company and whether I would consider a career with it, but also broadening my mind to where I could fit into the world of finance as a whole.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • It was an unpaid insight week.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Almost every day we had networking lunches and the networking drinks on friday was a great way to chat to plenty of people!

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Very good, everyone was really easy to talk to and I learnt plenty from them.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • All sorts of things, artistic, charitable, the fact that they have set hours means that employees have a life outside of work, which you don't often find with some financial employers!

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Great experience and insight into the company, met plenty of people and kickstarted my professional network.
