Pros

Currently a high school intern at Bloomberg. I was offered an internship during the school year and then it carried over to the summer. The internship involves very little management. Not even once, was I ever asked by my mentors "hey what are you doing right now, are you doing work?". They give you an assignment, and trust that you'll be able to do it. They're there to help you out and answer questions, not spoonfeed you Hours are pretty flexible. I came in when I want (never once scolded for being "late" or the like. I actually came in earlier than my seniors a lot of the time). I left when I wanted. Pantry has nice snacks for you to enjoy. Free breakfast. Soups. Good pay, especially for high school ($20/hr). They take you out to events around NYC. Overall, a good internship that looks great on a resume, offers great pay and enjoyable perks, and isn't too difficult to attain/perform at.

Cons

Commute sucks. R&D people are kind of awkward. Open desks (no cubicles, even though they'd be lovely)

Pros

Opportunities to do lots of work with data and finance to apply knowledge in both programming and Subject-Matter Expertise (SME). Excellent Work-Life Balance (WLB) and extremely welcoming culture. You can reach out to anyone for help or just to talk, and they will get back to you (although management does require more scheduling in advance). Generous compensation (good wage) and benefits, including housing for interns. If you heard the rumors that the Bloomberg Princeton office has a great Bloomberg Pantry (read: company-provided breakfast and lunch), the rumors are true.

Cons

Not the place for those looking for cutting-edge AI. The company is not as fast with AI as the company prioritizes reliability and accuracy above all, and much of AI is not at an acceptable threshold for management to be willing to take that risk with financial data (at least in 2026). You may get a project to automate menial processes, which is really cool, but that tends to involve actually doing the menial processes, which feels unproductive. Princeton office is good but New York is considered preferable. Coworkers are not very reachable outside of work hours. Compensation is low in Data compared to Software Engineers.
