The Role
Enjoyed very much the freedom and independence we were given on the daily workflow.
Managers seat in the open space at Bloomberg which makes is easy to show yourself and make connections.
I was given a lot of support but I had to ask correct questions to be helped.
As busy as I wanted to be. I had my own projects and I could decide to be involved in additional projects if I wanted to. It's all up to you!
A lot of responsibilities that involved calling clients.
I developed myself a lot professionally and personally!
The Company
Ope, transparent and friendly!
Very organised! The timetable was given on the first day and we followed it throughout the 10 weeks.
Received 2 weeks of training for the department and about 6 hours of training for my specific role.
