Summer Intern Review

Role was split into Analytics training to learn about financial markets and the Bloomberg terminal to advise clients how best to use it for their workflow. Second part of the role was sales oriented. It was reaching out to clients to pitch new Bloomberg functions and research related to their player type and workflow. Booking meetings and building relationships was part of the role.

I was given the right amount of responsibilities during the internship.
In Sales I was always guided by my mentors but they also let me do my job and gave me enough responsibilities to call clients and go to meetings. For instance, organizing the webinar put a lot of responsibility on you as Bloomberg's credibility is staked on it's quality of information. In analytics I shadowed my mentors and they showed me their daily work.

I have learned a lot about the Bloomberg terminal and it's many applications. From news coverage and research analysis to trading. I have also learned more about programming applications for the terminal and excel. These include BQL, BQNT and other APIs. On the other hand, I also expanded my sales skills by learning different techniques and approaches when dealing with clients. This has greatly increased my interpersonal skills in a professional environment.

During my internship, I received support from many different people across the organization. First of all, my mentors were always ready to help me if needed. Moreover, also the other interns were very collaborative and eager to help, as well as all the employees, who were always open to explain new things and let us shadow them. On the whole, I felt supported throughout my summer.

It was a very open company culture. Everyone was very open to speaking with you, even from other completely unrelated departments. There was a lot of cross-department collaboration for many projects and everyone was ready to help. The office environment was also very unique as the pantry space was welcoming and there are no private offices. As such, it was very easy to reach out to other employees and speak to them.

I really liked my internship. It has been a very insightful program where I had the opportunity to know the company, the product and the daily activities very well.
This internship made me develop very good soft skills since I became better at presenting myself, making more meaningful connections and work proactively with my teammates in our project. I believe that I will keep these connections even after the internship is over.
