      After 6 years of wasting time, I want others to learn from my mistake!

      Pros

      They lure you in with the salary - but dont be fooled, that soon flat lines and you'd make more being successful at a more dynamic company that treats employees like responsible adults, not untrustworthy children.

      Cons

      Think EXTREMELY carefully before starting work at Bloomberg. The culture is horrendous and stifles all creativity and motivation out of the employees - unless you want to become a demoralised robot incredibly quickly - continue your job search. Extremely flat hierarchy with limited progression options and employees are micromanaged to the absolute extreme. Such a shame given the great work Mike Bloomberg does outside of Bloomberg LP.

      Welcome to 80s

      Pros

      If you miss 80s (and I don't mean the music, but processes, culture, and technology), Bloomberg is the company for you. If you miss 90s, wait a bit, they are getting there, come in a decade or two. To get a good understanding of what to expect, listen carefully about the company's culture, but remember that in 80s those words must have meant something different: "Flexibility" means "Manage your time yourself as long as your manager can constantly see you". "Flat structure" means "open space" or maybe "flat vertical structure". "Hard-working" means "Keep yourself busy till late". "Agile" means "Micromanagement". "Innovation" means "NIH syndrome". "Risk-taking" means "If you screw up just this much ...". "Be bold" means "We've no idea what that means, but they mention it in every book".

      Cons

      If you are looking for an internship or your first job, and money is your only motivation, then go to Bloomberg.

      Pros

      You can knock yourself out all day on the free food. You'll need to, to cope with the misery of working there.

      Cons

      This really is a nasty, nasty place. Dull, tedious workload, unnecessarily long hours with absolutely no give and all take, inward-facing approach with no regard for customers whatsoever, micromanaging middle management whose only specialist skills are brown-nosing. Think Lord of the Flies - a kid in charge of the other kids and not a colouring in book in sight. The company prides itself on growing organically, so it never gets any fresh ideas in, and subsequent generations of middle managers just follow the status quo. Oh, and factor in the several sizes of new trousers you'll need to buy as you get fatter and fatter from misery-eating.
