Cons

* long hours * mandate working hours * old technologies. * If you holds H1B visa as SDE, DO NOT work here if you want to switch companies before you got green card. Bloomberg won't provide any employment verification letters as needed by green card process if you switched to another company.

Pros

Besides the great benefits (health care, snacks, dinner), Bloomberg is a good place for you to learn and to work. It provides good internal mobility if you want to move to a different group and location. The open environment provide both an opportunity and distractions. The culture encourages team work, helping the customers. Since there is no title, the management generally is more accessible and it is easier to contact someone outside your team. It does have work from home policy, and the application sometimes depends on your team leader.

Cons

Like many other big companies, there is bureaucracy and internal politics. Sometimes, the accountability can be poor. But since Mike's return, it has changed somewhat to breakdown the silos and to get in touch with the customers more. The technology on the IT side is not the most advanced ones, and there are lots of legacies. But there are lots of smart people and lots of new technologies are being used in various places.

Pros

Great compensation and benefits, excellent, driven, talented co-workers. If you find finance and software fascinating it would be hard to find a better match.

Cons

The environment can be stressful at times due to the push to get things to production quickly. Global financial markets happen constantly 24/7 (or almost) and you can be on call at any time.
