Bloomberg Financial Software Developer reviews

You don't know what the REAL project requirements are until they are 3 days from due. Have to work with stupid financial market conventions that make no sense. The code written here is terrible, and nobody have the time to police it.

very rigid environment, although highly depends on the department, group, team and and supervisor/team lead. there is nowhere to advance, since system is highly customized it will take some years to learn and then may advance to team lead, to become manager takes longer and mostly those positions are taken by the people who have been with the company the longest. There is rarely team spirit even though one is promoted. Each person is on his own. Bloomberg long ago became a big corporation in spirit and it acts and feels like one.
