    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Its an open office and its never quiet. As you are sitting right next to your colleagues it can get really fun very fast

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • You have many trainings and sessions. But to make the most out of it you must be the driver. EVERYBODY at Bloomberg is more than happy to help or advice you - even if he or she is Head of a Department

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • At the stage of my career I want to see more (working in a big bank for example) - I cannot answer this...

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • You are making friends very quickly - within 10 weeks I met so many interesting and open people and also found really good friends. I am sure, that we will keep contact!

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Super expensive - thank god the company pays interns very well

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Many pubs around the company - to Shoreditch you walk 15 minutes

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Be your own chairman - involve yourself or organise events! Most of the interns were from abroad so everybody is thankful if you are organising something
