    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The work environment was amazing - we faced new challenges everyday and with our personal mentors we had excellent points of contact if we had questions.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • We were never treated like 'interns' (didn't even say on our badge). Everybody was happy to help out when I was looking for meeting rooms or had general questions about tasks we were given. Also, I was very involved in the daily activities of my team.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My mentors were extremely proactive when it came to helping me out - would mever hesitate to call me even if they're out of the office. Also, I received a detailed internship schedule which made it easy to plan my day around the fixed parts.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was never bored - however as I took on numerous projects outside of the internship schedule (as I worked in two departments and I followed up on projects from the first part), so it was challenging to balance it perfectly.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Worked on projects for the first few weeks that will hopefully positively affect the business - outcome to be seen. When I started the second part I was given a lot of responsibility as I worked on the same tasks as other people in my team most of the time.

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

    • The skills I learned are essential in everyday life, not only my degree studies.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Bloomberg is a great place to work at - everybody is motivated and that certainly has a positive effect on other people.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • We had schedules - only very rarely we didn't know what the program was (in that case we were informed just before).

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

    • Especially in the internship I did i received a lot of training.

    5/5

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was out and about with the internship every week and will definitelytry to stay in touch with most of the people!

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

    • Expensive area, but we still had a great time.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Many pubs in the area - very social environment.

    4/5

    • I took part in social activities like planting poppies at the Tower of London, which was organised by Bloomberg.
