      Good place to start, good name on your CV. Do not exceed 24 months, though..

      Pros

      good name on your CV for afterwards, exposure to markets, large range of clients to work with, no need to stay overtime, management not very eloquent so a few polysyllabics will sort you out if you're lagging behind

      Cons

      incompetent management, lack of communication, over-ephasis on company jargon, dissonance between what is said and what is actually expected, lack of ownership over own career, no interest to develop your career but to increase the rate at which you execute your tasks, rigorous and unsuitably rigid metrics system, compensation substandard for the industry

      Asia Analytics - the peasants of the company.

      Pros

      Good healthy snacks, drinks and breakfast are provided. Clean, beautiful and comfortable office/ working environment. Fixed working hours - rarely have to work overtime. Don't really have to worry about work when going on leave as you pretty much finish what you have to do within the same day. (no backlogs) Lots of internal trainings provided with a wide range of subjects to choose from. Lots of party, luncheons, dinners, drinks organised throughout a year, good opportunity to bond with colleagues. Very nice colleagues who are sincere, fun loving and very little office politics. The company is very supportive of philantrophic activities and recognizes employee's effort in community service.

      Cons

      Long working hours in Asia compared to the rest of the Bloomberg offices, for example Asia works 8am to 6pm (10 hours) while London/ NY works 8am to 5pm - which is unfair really. Rigid lunch schedule; in Singapore we lunch at 1050am, 1115am, etc... very weird timings and you have to be back from lunch ON TIME even if you were stuck on a client's issue for 30mins - you don't get compensated. It's an irony when we say alot of times we feel really hungry given that the Bloomberg pantry is just there - but you don't get the time to go because you're SO BUSY and you cannot afford to leave your desk for lunch etc. MICRO MANAGERS are everywhere in Analytics, they ask "where are you" 100 times a day, we have to report to our managers when we go to the toilet, go for lunch, to get a drink or just to run downstairs to meet the deliveryman - they want to know EVERYTHING about you. Sometimes they will ask you to go to the toilet and come back ASAP. :( Asia Analytics managers do not protect their subordinates when it comes to a complaint by a client or even internal employees - in other words the Analytics representative is ALWAYS in the wrong no matter what - treated like dirt. Asia managers are too weak and incompetent compared to their NY/LO counterparts. Evaluation of employees is a joke - simply put - they award money to whoever they like and not to the people who actually performed well. Asia Pac Analytics manager is biased, incompetent, all talk and no action - a loser.
