    • Really enjoyed my internship in Bloomberg. Lots of learning opportunities and challenges, something I really liked.

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

    • Very much so. I was in BI (equity research division), was given substantial amounts of autonomy when initiating coverage on a new company.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My supervisor was extremely supportive, and was available whenever I reached out for help. Very patient in imparting knowledge to me.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Since it was a research function, the working hours aren't as structured and fixed. The busyness really depends on how well you managed your time.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Lots. Initiating coverage on a company (almost full autonomy), and even led a coverage call with company management.

    • Developed a variety of soft and hard skills. Very useful.

    4/5

    The Company

    • Depends on the time of the year. Since it was research, during seasons analysts and associates tended to be a bit more tense.

    4/5

    • Very well done. Had exposure to bottom up, fundamental research as well as some top-down macro research with indices.

    5/5
