  • To a great extent. There were a lot of on boarding meetings and trainings. Above all, we continously received feedback for our work either formal or informal. The fformal feedbacks were really well structured and the managers were constantly giving informal feedback when required.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Learning how to use the Bloomberg Terminal is definitely an invaluable skill to have. Also the finance training we received was really helpful especially if you do not have an heavy finance background. Also, I feel like my presentation sills have improved during the course of the internship. Another thing that I got to improve is client interaction and relationship. This internship made me much more confident in dealing with client interactions and to cope with objections.

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company heavily invested in our training. The first two weeks were almost entirely dedicated to it and even afterwards there was a lot of training involved on BBG products. The training was followed by some quizzes which tested our knowledge. The training as well as the teacher was really engaging and the teachers were always available for questions afterwards. Also we were given access to LinkedIn learning and other resources to learn more and get ttraining.

  • 8. To what extent did the virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • I think the virtual internship gave me a full overview of what the full time job will look like as well as possible career advancements within the firm once you join full time. All the simulations we had were aimed au making us understand the full time role and also we had several client interactions that helped us understanding how this goes for the full time job. Also had meetings with more advanced reps to understand future developments.

  • 9. How much did the virtual experience help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The company culture was tangible even with a remote internship. Both the continuous support that you had from people and the different events helped us grasp the collaborative and supportive culture Bloomberg has. Also, the strong focus on diversity and philanthropy is something that really distinguishes this company. There were several online charity events organized and several discussions panels we could attend. Also the relationships we build with people will be long lasting and fruitful.
