Bloomberg LP Work Experiences

Fun Interns, Long Hours

Financial Software Developer Intern • Former Employee

Pros: I worked at Bloomberg for a 3-month summer internship. They have lots of events for interns, which keeps it interesting. The other interns were really cool people who were great to hang out with.

Cons: My team consisted of people quite a lot older than me, which made it hard to relate to them. They also didn't talk a lot, which can make it a bit depressing when you're sitting in front of a screen all day. It'd be nice to break up the monotony a bit. The hours are also very long, and combined with an hour-long tube journey each way, there was really no free time available (aside from weekends), which just really took it out of me.
