Do not work there unless you have no other choice

Business Outlook

Pros

Not bad as first job, especially if you dont know what else is avilable. Also good if Bloomberg name appears on CV. Others mention free food, but in London office they dont even have place to eat for employees: you are supposed to eat at your desk or eat out all the time. My salary at Bloomberg would not allow me to do much of the latter. It is good palce for someone who like to work non-stop, prefferably without breaks, who can give 110% for the business and leave -10% for yourself and personal life. It is not me for sure.

Cons

long hours, too much pressure for the money you get; "pushing" all the time from the management; unbearable

Real life version of Severance the show

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, free snacks, and PTO days.

Cons

Everything else - feels like a combination of the show Severance and the book 1984. Not worth the stress, esp for URM.

Business Outlook

Pros

Trauma bonding with the team

Cons

The contracts team has been chronically understaffed - but management continues to gaslight staff and fire people for trying to explain that the levels of work are untenable. If you’ve been approached by a recruiter for this role - run, they won’t tell you this but you have to work bank holidays, you need to message on the team chat every time you leave your desk (brb every time you go to the toilet!), and you will be constantly micromanaged. Recruiters will tell you there’s internal mobility, but contracts management will either fire you or block any move for you.
