Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The Global Data department is divided into multiple sub-teams based on different asset classes and the datasets that they look after. My day-to-day role as an intern involved attending morning hurdles with the intern coordinators, where we got to touch base on the activities scheduled for the day and what was expected from us. I would also have extended blocks of time to work on my summer project. The internship coordinators planned and enriching program for us, whereby in addition to working on the project, we also got to attend various sessions, such as roundtables with managers, fireside chats with business leaders as well as team leaders.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes- from the onset my mentor shared a project brief with me that gave an overview of what was expected of me. It was highly encouraged to bring on new ideas and to share them with the team with the aim of adding more value to the project. I was keen on exploring a proprietary tool that I knew would be impactful to the team, and got to collaborate with multiple stakeholders from different offices and teams in order to gain the insights I required to make the project a success.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Plenty of support- I was assigned a project mentor and buddy within the team, who were always ready to answer my questions, as well as to review my work and share feedback in a timely manner. We also had fantastic intern coordinators who were always ready to help and guide us throughout the internship.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture of the company was great! I loved immersing myself in it, and embodying the company's values.
Everyone is open to having coffee chats, to share about the work that they do as well as their career stories. I love the fact that collaboration is encouraged, and by design, is at the centre of everything that Bloomberg does.
