    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I think in Software Infrastructure at Bloomberg you never get bored because you always receive things to do that involve research and possible working with code that you have never seen.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I think the atmosphere here is relaxing (you have fish tanks). If you are an engineer you will have a nice desk and you can work while hearing nice guys from bussiness talking with customers. I think this is cool.

    5/5

    • I received the team that I requested. They had a great plan: events, talks, board games, courses, parties.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London it's an expensive place but you can have fun. The rent is very expensive. You should spend some time searching for flats in every corner of London.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I love The Flying Horse Pub. It's everything I need to know about pubs near office. The new office will have more pubs around.

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Bloomberg has many charities and a program called BOB wich helps people. You can be a volunteer during the working hours!
