Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Insight into Analytics and Sales at Bloomberg, learning more about fintech and the Bloomberg terminal in financial commercial awareness and terminal workshops, as well as job shadowings and discussions and panels with Bloomberg employees from several departments. The week was rounded off with group presentations and an assessment centre for the 2025 summer internship.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
During the insight week, we really heard from experts in both the analytics and sales department, each and everyone with different roles, experiences and values. Additionally, we learned about all the inter departmental activities that Bloomberg has to offer like DE&I efforts and the Boblympics, which really helped me to understand how it would be to work here at Bloomberg. I specifically enjoyed the openness of all employees whom I also met for coffee chats outside of the regular programme.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bloomberg
As everyone is so open at inclusive at Bloomberg, I would really recommend everyone looking to apply there to leverage this opportunity and reach out to employees via LinkedIn.
