Meaningful Project, Great Culture

Financial Software Developer Intern • Former Employee

New York, New York, United States

Pros: They treat you like a full-time employee. I had a project that was impactful and meaningful. It was my first real foray into actual project design and management. They do everything they can to make sure you have an enjoyable experience and continually improve the internship program each year with larger salaries and more intern involvement.

Cons: A few people had less than stellar experiences, but that was more to do with their fit in the company's culture and their team's culture than the company itself.

Bloomberg Summer Intern Review

Financial Software Developer Intern • Former Employee

New York, New York, United States

October 15, 2015

Pros: Bloomberg is a great place to gain independence and make decisions. Even interns were given very useful work and were encouraged to try new things and make their own decisions. So Bloomberg really trusts its employees, which allows them to grow.

Cons: One downside of working at Bloomberg is that it is primarily a financial software company. There are several other things, like web and legal, you can develop for, but apart from that, it's mostly financial. It wasn't a downside for me, though, because I really enjoy financial software development.
