Pros

The compensation is reasonably good, the benefits (medical, 401k) are pretty good too. The parental leave policy is one of the best anywhere (6 months fully paid).

Cons

The software engineers I have worked with here are some of the worst software engineers I’ve ever worked with. The bar seems to be very low and some truly terrible engineers then end up doing interviews to hire more bad engineers. The systems that result from this are predictably brittle and poorly architected. The engineering leadership is totally out of their depth for how to solve this problem, let alone diagnose it as far as I can tell.

Pros

They pay well and the company is stable. If you says yes to everything and and do a decent job they will move you up.

Cons

You need to be a robot and follow the Bloomberg way, otherwise you will not be able to move forward. Managers are not qualified and it is not about meritocracy. Politics play too much part on how to navigate Bloomberg and most people have family members that know someone in order to get them steps ahead.
