      Pros

      Perks, Working Balance, No accountability. You can’t screw up even though you might not be good at your job. Most targets are easy to reach such as visiting customers from accounts you manage or generating leads.

      Cons

      Micromanagement on each level, I think real ambitious and smart people get frustrated because this isn’t a company where you get points for generating revenue or cutting cost. Lots of jobs here exist for legacy reasons.

      Pros

      - New London office is very nice - Good management: My team lead, manager, manager^2, and manager^3 are all excellent. They're enthusiastic, know the product and have programming backgrounds. I'm confident about the direction they're leading my team in and the work we're doing, and they're invested in cleaning up the tech debt created by previous management. They also know and care about the team, each of them knowing me, my skills, shortcomings and desires. My team lead especially has pushed to give me opportunities to advance and have a greater positive impact at Bloomberg. - Good compensation

      Cons

      - Legacy tech stack. We're working on cleaning this up, but in the area I work there's a considerable amount of C and Fortran code. Most of it quite nasty. C is converted to C++ when we touch it, and fortran is 99% just being read to debug a problem, and not modified. I have had to change it a few times though in the last 12 months. - Long hours. 8-6 is the contracted hours, but I work more like 8:30-6. Manager is explicitly not-fussed about what time you arrive or leave, as long as you get your work done. I'd rather work 9-5, but I'm paid enough to live with it.

      POOR MANAGEMENT

      Pros

      None. Really can't think of any.

      Cons

      The company does not value or care about their employees. The management and the human resources department are a total joke. They may seem like a nice and big company but they are not interested in your well-being and work/life balance whatsoever. One of the examples: There was (I bet they were & are still) a sexual harassment by one of the Bloomberg anchors which was reported several times to HR, but the HR told and convinced the victim that the anchor has a wife and family so just to forgive him and do not tell people. The victim was asked to delete all the phone call records from the nasty anchor and eventually left the company.
