Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My responsibility was to work on a pre-determined intern project, which involved usage of multiple technologies of the company, as well as Python and Database. Overall, my intern project involved multiple steps, such as data collection, its transformation and visualization.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say yes. Since I've been working on one internal project for 3 months, it required a lot of effort. I could also sense how it was an important tool for my team. I could actually see the impact I am making, so I tried to do my best from the beginning till the end.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My whole team was eager to support me throughout my internship. Even when my mentor and team lead were out of the office or just busy with other tasks, any member of my team, even people outside of my team were ready to help me, which never stopped to fascinate me. I loved the working culture in the office!

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone in the office seemed to be happy and I felt like I belong here. Thanks to the events, organized by HR team for the interns, I could see that the company cared about me. Obviously, my team was caring and helpful too. They would give me advice on both technical and non-technical matters. They played a big role in my comfortable stay in London.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Bloomberg to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Bloomberg
Do your best, never stop practicing, keep honing your technical skills, but most importantly, be a good person. Be friendly, helpful, kind, positive. I think company values people and their personalities, not the technical skills they possess. That's what eventually makes the office such a comfortable place to work.
