We had several workshops and Q&A time with very interactive activities! A lot of time to network and to get to know the company and the opportunities it gives us. We worked on a team project throughout the week and we presented it on our last day.
The Insight Week involved a broad range of activities, from meeting the Analytics, Sales, and Data Science teams, discovering the Terminal's functions alongside their representatives, to creating a team project on a financial topic (in my case, on the pandemic's effect on commodities' prices). We also had some some activities brushing up on our public speaking abilities, a simulation of some tasks typical for a day at office, and a team-building activity.
Was very insightful& enjoyable. Involved day-to-day shadowing of employees in various departments, completing a group project and panel questionnaires.
The insight took place over a period of a week. The schedule mainly comprised workshops, where current employees took us through technical sessions eg. Global Data ESG data, with time at the end left for Q&A. At the beginning of the week, we were put into groups within which we would work on a group project. Throughout the week, we got to work on our projects and presented on the final day.
The Insight Week is designed to introduce us to the work and culture, connect us to diverse communities and help prepare us for your future professional career by educating us the main aspect in each of Analytics & Sales and Global Data Role. Also, introducing us to the Bloomberg terminal and the difference between Buy-Side and Sell-Side market players. There are also lots of activities planned such as the Escape Room, Toastmasters and Global Data/ Sales & Analytics activities utilising the Bloomberg terminal. Also, the opportunity to network with inspirational employees throughout the company, gain an insight into different areas of the daily work, build your professional skills as well as exploring future opportunities available.

Everything went very smoothly due to the incredible organisation and pre arranged timetable
5 days, 9-5 everyday with some breaks in between. Mostly listening to presentations on what you would need to know to work in analysis and sales/global data. Also some interactive activities involving an escape room, chat with customers simulation, public speaking. As well as working on a group presentation throughout the week. Also got access to a really great online market concepts course.
The week was structured in a very organised way. the timetable was detailed and clear. we would start at 9 am and finish at 5 pm. Every day we had the chance to hear insights from Bloomberg's current employees, understand their role and responsibilities. it was very useful to be able to understand the different departments within the company and connect with people to expand my personal network as well
Taking part in activities, listening in on presentations and panels to have a deeper understanding into a career at Bloomberg, particularly in the Analytics & Sales and Global Data departments.
we had meetings every day on zoom, sometimes in full group, sometimes split into breakout rooms to work on group projects. Also we had presentations of the main departments of Bloomberg and some trainings on the terminal.
I learned how Bloomberg uses dynamic data and analysis to deliver accurate, real-time business and market information to help its customers make financial decisions. Employees from various departments provided insight on their departments' objectives and how they work towards achieving their objectives. Successful past interns discussed their experiences and how they stood out during their internships. I did practical exercises and fun activities on the Bloomberg Terminal. Business Leaders spoke about their experiences.
During this Spring Insight Week, me and my colleagues were able to listen to insightful presentations from employees of different divisions. We could also participate in hands-on sessions to learn more about how the Global Data and the Analytics&Sales departments work, as well as having an overview of how the Bloomberg Terminal works by having direct access. We also worked in teams to develop a presentation about a specific industry, that was delivered on the last day.
Workshops, talks and interactive sessions centred around the Bloomberg Terminal and Analytics & Sales/Global Data departments, ended with presentations.
One week immersion in two departments: Analytics & Sales, Global Data. The Insight week was full of interesting and entertaining activities that not only helped you to understand the different activities that are carried out in the different departments but also gave you an overview of the culture and the core values of the company. Moreover, at the end of the day, we also had the opportunity to network and talk with the team leaders.
The week was filled with introductions to different parts of Bloomberg and with working on a group project. Additionally, we were able to test the BB Terminal which was great!
1 week, covering buy-side, sell-side, Global Data, Sales & Analytics. Interactive sessions and demonstrations.
Each day we were given the opportunity to listen to speakers from different departments across Bloomberg. We were put into project groups and worked together in preparation for a presentation at the end of the week in addition to different sessions on how to use the terminal.
Daily tasks and training sessions. Daily interactions with team leads and upper management. Worked on a project for one week with a team of 5 people. All in all, it was an amazing opportunity and experience.
