A good place to start-off your career but not a place if you are looking for long term commitement

Business Outlook

Pros

Good working environment and colleagues. The office itself is quite nice and a big kitchen with all sorts of snacks.

Cons

Most of the senior management have their positions solely because they joined Bloomberg from the beginning. They do not have a lot of exposure and experience of rest of the world and are not very competent in management and technology and unfortunately they also have a lot of authority and ego. This causes miss-treatment towards lower level staff and policies that don't make a whole lot of sense. If one does not gel well with the management layer, no matter how competent you are, you career and salary will not progress that far.

It feels like a sweatshop.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fifty percent match on 401k benefit. Fully paid medical insurance. Free snacks in the pantry area. Access to financial data.

Cons

Trading floor style desks. No privacy or cubicles. Micro managed time down to the second. Not enough restrooms for employees. (3 stalls per floor of aproximately 300 employees) Employees are treated as a number and not as an individual. Favoritism - different rules apply to different departments, and different people within a department. Morale is at an all time low.

Pros

pays well, stable, lots of potential -- in some alternate universe.

Cons

90 hour weeks, stifling beaurocracy, backstabing politics, personal degradation, self-destructive technology choices. think of it as being chained in a salt mine with open sores. living in new york is a special kind of hell too.
