Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to conduct analysis on third party data using python and leveraging business visualization tools to create dashboards that would be intuitive and display results for stakeholders.
On a day to day basis I usually had a morning huddles with fellow interns as well as team meetings to update on project progress. I also had networking/shadowing sessions which I had organized within and outside of the data department.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility since the findings/analysis from my project was to be used as part of the decision making progress for a business contract.
My entire team as well as my manager's manager was interested in the project so it felt really rewarding that I was given such as big responsibility.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a lot of support and guidance from everyone I met throughout the internship.

There were plenty of opportunities to shadow and network individuals within my department but also outside.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture was fantastic in that every single individual that I met was extremely friendly and respectful, they always had the time to answer my questions and teach me new things. They were always willing to have a coffee chat to talk further and at times even scheduled chats themselves.
There is a big emphasis on collaboration and philanthropy which are core values of Bloomberg and you notice this from day one.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Bloomberg to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Bloomberg
My biggest advice is to know what you really want to do and why. It can be difficult as someone with not much experience but, have some sort of an idea and understand the bigger trends within the industry and how it would impact Bloomberg.
In terms of the interview absolutely nothing to worry about, try to demonstrate your passion and skills and why you really want to work for Bloomberg.
