Pros

I worked at Bloomberg for a 3 month summer internship. They have lots of events for interns, which keeps it interesting. The other interns were really cool people who were great to hang out with.

Cons

My team consisted of people quite a lot older than me, which made it hard to relate to them. They also didn't talk a lot, which can make it a bit depressing when you're sitting in front of a screen all day - it'd be nice to break up the monotony a bit. The hours are also very long, and combined with an hour long tube journey each way there was really no free time available (aside from weekends), which just really took it out of me.

Pros

You get to take things at your pace. You want to move fast and take up complex tasks? You can. Want to lay low for a few months while working on a part time degree? Of course you can.

Cons

No pressure. Pretty old technology. Some of the skills are not portable at all.

Pros

Some of the newer teams are working on really cool stuff. If you get into one of these teams, you will have lots of fun. The culture is laidback; no one cares if you walk in at 11 am unlike some of the older teams where the manager will take you aside and lecture you if you come at 9:35 instead of 9:30. Don't join the older teams. You'll work on the same thing for your entire time, sometimes not even pushing any code to production for months on end, ending up in the project being cancelled. Some of these notorious teams are: Any of the "yellow key" groups such as Equities and Mortgages, some of the realtime teams such as BPIPE, Ticker Plant, Data License. The cool teams are Software Infrastructure, and some foundational application teams.

Cons

Lots of cliques, particularly in the older teams. Avoid the older teams.
