Terrible Management in Media

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company values, benefits, pay were good.

Cons

The benefits and pay are not worth the stress. Bloomberg Media had the most toxic environment I've ever experienced in a workplace. This is mostly due to the leadership. There are too many people in management and team lead positions, who have ZERO leadership skills, and no business acting as role models. Would NOT recommend.

Good company, good product, smart people, but awful management

Sales specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a well known brand with some really amazing products compared to its competitors, it's well respected in the industry so the sales job is a bit easier compared to others.

Cons

If you are unlucky and end up on the wrong team, it can be extremely micro managed. Because everyone in the company can view your calendar, see what time you badged in and out, this is used extensively by managers, so basically for people with family and kids, can be a proper nightmare

Mediocre for a tech company

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits - 401k matching, great health insurance Free access to almost all museums in NYC Lots of opportunity for advancement Great work life balance

Cons

Really old and proprietary tech stack which has become burdensome. Most teams have a lot of legacy code written by people who've only ever worked at Bloomberg The whole talk about a meritocracy is all BS. Your manager is your judge, jury and executioner. If your manager likes you, then you're in good stead. If he/she doesn't, then you're screwed No real company vision
