Bloomberg reviews

The place is rampant with folk who have been here for 15 - 30 years. They hoard all the good meaningful work and pass the paper-pushing work to qualified new hires. Feedback about this to TL/Manager? HR falls on deaf years. It's not a revenue-generating group in the company and is heavily neglected in terms of work-life balance. As a new hire, I had multiple people on my team come out a vent their frustrations to me, which tells me they aren't happy and haven't been for a long time. Technology is old at least 8 years behind other fintech/tech companies. Bloomberg as a company doesn't live up to the hype it formerly gathered for its technology and culture.

- Everyone I worked with who had career aspirations have left. Everyone who just wants a good work life balance stays (so the average age is quite high) - Some arrogant managers and favouritism. - There is no career progression for developers and this is by design. - Managers and team leads have little to no people skills. They are technically strong but are very unskilled at people management and coaching. You will be managed by good project managers who are technically strong and have no idea how to grow and coach people because they are chosen for their project management skills and not people skills. - The mobile app is a secondary product that the rest of the business doesn't care about so you are always working on something secondary and insignificant to clients. - You will be working on a legacy codebase that is huge and moves very slowly with so much bureaucracy
