Yuki Furukawa<\/h2>\n

Reporter, Bloomberg News, Tokyo<\/em><\/p>\n

Why did you choose to work at Bloomberg?<\/h3>\n

One day, a friend of mine who was working at Bloomberg invited me to visit his office. Although I wasn\u2019t looking for a new job at the time, I was amazed by Bloomberg\u2019s wonderful office environment. In fact, the main reason I decided to join the company was that my friend\u2019s colleagues were all brilliant and I wanted to work with them! I also liked that Bloomberg News has a clear policy on how to write stories, and that it delivers these stories to readers in a very strategic manner.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us more about your current role?<\/h3>\n

I cover technology news and have written about a wide range of companies \u2014 from tech giants such as Sony Group and Nintendo to small businesses that play an essential role in semiconductor supply chains. I conduct interviews on topics I find interesting, consulting with my manager and colleagues throughout the process. I also get feedback from readers, which motivates me.<\/p>\n

What is it like to work at Bloomberg?<\/h3>\n

At Bloomberg, everyone looks out for one another. I can always go to my colleagues for advice, and they have helped me overcome challenges several times. I also feel comfortable talking about problems that I wasn\u2019t able to share at my previous job. I think this culture of collaboration is built on our commitment to achieve a shared goal \u2014 which is to deliver good stories and enhance the value of Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

What is the office environment like?<\/h3>\n

Bloomberg provides a working environment that enables employees to perform to the best of their abilities. From free breakfast and snacks to comprehensive support for interviews and reporting activities, we probably have the best working environment compared with other media companies in Japan. Another plus point is that there are many communal spaces in the office where employees can come together.<\/p>\n

Overall, what are the most outstanding aspects of Bloomberg\u2019s culture?<\/h3>\n

I was surprised that I was required to undergo Diversity & Inclusion training right after I joined the company as I was never given such an opportunity in my previous job. As I work with colleagues from many different backgrounds, this helped me realize the importance of collaborating to achieve the same goal. Also, Bloomberg offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, some of which I actively participate in.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Go Onomitsu<\/h2>\n

Reporter, Bloomberg News, Tokyo<\/em><\/p>\n

Tell us more about your current role and what is most interesting about what you do.<\/h3>\n

I examine corporate statements and regulatory filings, monitor news across different media outlets, and flash headlines in both English and Japanese. Our team strives to be first to break news on topics ranging from corporate earnings and multi-billion-dollar takeover deals to the Bank of Japan\u2019s monetary policy. At Bloomberg, you\u2019re always at the forefront of the news cycle, which means you get a bird\u2019s-eye view of Japan\u2019s economy and business landscape. You\u2019ll never get bored!<\/p>\n

What gets you most excited about coming to work?<\/h3>\n

Being able to deliver news to a global audience as it happens \u2014 be it the new appointment of a central bank governor or an accounting scandal that could topple an international conglomerate. Whenever such events happen, you can see the bureau and all of its 100-plus journalists getting galvanized. It\u2019s a precious feeling that keeps me going.<\/p>\n

What do you think sets Bloomberg apart as a company?<\/h3>\n

Bloomberg has evolved over the years by leaps and bounds \u2014 and that\u2019s probably because the company isn\u2019t afraid of change. We were quick to build a tool to flash corporate earnings in different languages instantly and simultaneously. We\u2019ve incorporated artificial intelligence by using it to dig into corporate data. I believe Bloomberg\u2019s agility as a company and its talented workforce are what has propelled its growth.<\/p>\n

Is there anything that has surprised you about working at Bloomberg?<\/h3>\n

Whenever natural disasters happen, such as the Great East Japan earthquake in 2011 and the earthquake that struck Turkey earlier this year, I\u2019m always eager to contribute to the cause. And I\u2019m always pleasantly surprised that Bloomberg is quick to match donations by employees.<\/p>\n

Overall, what is the best thing about Bloomberg\u2019s culture?<\/h3>\n

As a father of two young children, it can be challenging to balance work and personal life. Occasionally, I have to work shorter hours or take time off to look after the kids. I always make sure that my work isn\u2019t disrupted, and thankfully, my managers are really understanding. The support I get from the company gives me confidence that I can build my career even through different stages of life.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
