Pros

-Free Food -Great Benefits

Cons

*disclaimer everything below depends on what department you're in* Where to begin There is little to no direction. Many analysts and managers are complacent with Bloomberg's current performance so any new and exciting initiatives are typically squandered for unnecessary maintenance. Most of this maintenance could be avoided if problems were addressed when found, but many of these problems just get kicked down the road. The most concerning part is this job will not teach you real-world skills. You will only learn Bloomberg specific skills and lingo that you cannot market to other companies. So if you have real career aspirations in tech be careful choosing Bloomberg.

Pros

Very good health benefits, free snacks, nice offices, global mobility .

Cons

They are hiring smart people and turning them to coding monkey. Before each software engineer had a chance to manage their own projects and came up with their own ideas to solve problems. Now, with all these agile idiotic practices, which do not fit the business, you do what you are told to do. New team leaders are doing nano-management. If you are smart, you are screwed. Also you will start of feel like you are working in India......
