Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Insight Week was split into virtual and in-house sessions. The virtual sessions were held over Zoom and once/if successful one gets invited to the in-house sessions. Overall, the experience was very enriching. It enables one the chance to delve into the company, its culture, and engage in amazing networking opportunities. Here, I also learned so much about Bloomberg’s products, specifically targeting the buy-side and sell-side.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was inspiring for sure! Bloomberg's Insight Week gave me a comprehensive understanding of the company's business, culture, and potential career opportunities. It involved a mix of presentations, workshops, networking sessions, and hands-on activities. It provided participants with insights into Bloomberg's various departments, products, and services, as well as offered a glimpse into the daily work environment.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture and general atmosphere at Bloomberg were incredibly positive and inclusive. One of the standout aspects was the strong emphasis on diversity and respect. This was evident in the diverse range of participants and employees, and in the way everyone's opinions were valued regardless of their background. This created an atmosphere of collaboration and innovation that was truly inspiring. The overall experience reflected a company culture where diversity and respect were not just buzzwords, but integral to the way people interacted and worked together.
