    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • It was so amazing to meet so many different employees from different backgrounds and department. We had the opportunity to ask as many questions as we wanted! I liked the mix between presentations and exercises. The project we carried out during the week was very interesting because it has allowed us to practice Terminal functions and functionalities. We also had amazing team building session with quizzes and games to better know the other insighters who were present even if it was a virtual meeting.

  • The persons who organised the Insight Week were so nice and help us through the week. We had the opportunity to ask as many questions as we wanted which was so valuable. They encouraged us during the quiz sessions and also during our project's presentations. We had always help at any time and we could ask for support at any time during our project preparation throughout the week. We had the opportunity to send them messages on the Terminal as well.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The Insight week was really well organised. We received the full programm and guidelines in advance to be fully prepared on the day. We got support, especially concerning the downloading of the Terminal for Mac users. For each sessions we had the description of the content and also the names of the panelists. It was very interesting also to have the presentations sent by Email after so that we can review them at home and prepare our questions.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • We have received a lot of tips and guidances about the professional work and I will value all this information in my current internship. I also need to use Bloomberg for my current internship and with all the insights we had during this week on the usage of the Terminal, I feel for confident and prepared now to use it during my professional path. I also developed the ability to work on a team project remotely via a virtual room and it was such a good experience.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Incredibly well organized with a complete planning that was sent before the beginning of the Insight Week. We also had the repartition of the groups in Excel files which was so useful. I completely appreciated the way the planning was set because it was a mix of project time and presentations and exercises. The activities were at the end of the day which is the perfect time to foster team building. Thank you also to have created a file with all the links for the Nexi rooms, it really helped me throughout the week.

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • All the group was so engaged by asking questions and participating in every activity that was available to us. I met fantastic people and I want to stay in contact with them! Even when the day was over, we were still in touch by text messages, sharing our hobbies and life. I wish I can meet them in real after the COVID-19 crisis because we share the same interest and same motivation for Bloomberg and its values.
