Global Data Intern

June - August 2017 • Princeton, NJ

What I liked

Great people, skillman/princeton office has free food, a lot of time to connect/work on projects outside your immediate responsibilities

What I wish was different

That the office wasn't as technologically backwards as it is, most interns were asked to provide scripts to help automate archaic data processing tasks so data analytics wasn't as much as a priority as it was marketed to be.

Advice

Come in willing to learn about new technologies and you can do a lot of work that brings value to the data teams. Be open to coding!

Global Finance Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

It was my first Internship so it was a great experience to work at such a big company and learn about how the finance industry works and operates.

What I wish was different

I don’t have anything I would’ve done differently. I went in to the internship knowing I wanted to return full time so working hard payed off and I will be returning as a Financial Analyst in June 2019.

Advice

at my internship I met with as many alumni as possible. It was nice to build my network and have something in common with them as well.

Software Engineering Intern

May - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

There were great intern events, including an Overnight Puzzle Challenge and weekly game nights. Bloomberg employees also get access to almost all major museums / botanical gardens in NYC, so that was a blast! Bloomberg's commitment to service is also phenomenal; interns have a mandatory day of service during which you feel like you made a real impact.

What I wish was different

HR could have done more to facilitate the interns' integration into the professional culture. 1:1's between interns and mentors were not mandatory, and should be. There was also not much support around approaching midterm evals.

Advice

Enjoy the city!

Business Development Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I greatly enjoyed the environment-- I found it to be dynamic, supportive, and learning-oriented. I enjoyed the diverse backgrounds from which both interns and full-time employees came from. I feel that far too often, employers look for students with a very specific area of study, regardless of previous experience, and overlooking those who have studied liberal arts and social sciences.
