Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We attended daily presentations and lecture-type webinars that gave us insights about the Analytics and Sales, Global Data, and other Bloomberg departments as well as panels hosting Bloomberg employees to give us a taste of the workplace, workflows, team placements, horizons etc. We also had daily workshops about several skills like public speaking, gaining confidence etc. The end of the program was closed by a series of exercises and a final presentation of each team's assigned project.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Bloomberg's workplace exceeded my expectations in terms of organization, employer well being, time management and communication. It was a real pleasure not only learning from the Team Leaders but from my peers alike!

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Indeed, the public speaking workshop and especially the Bloomberg Terminal webinars were extremely insightful and taught me a lot about customer service and communication. Collaborating my team, contributing in delegating tasks and using the terminal thoroughly also helped me hone my technical and soft skills as much.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
Extremely. I especially loved the interactive parts where we had the chance to contribute, be in the role's shoes, and compete. It would be amazing to integrate them more and possibly tell the insight cohort about the project a bit earlier to give them more time to prepare!
