Pros

Benefits are good, pantry and free breakfast in the morning

Cons

Good talent is often under-appreciated or not rewarded appropriately. Too many people skating through or rewarded w/ promotion doing just a bit more than the bare minimum. Horrible middle management who are just looking to keep their own status quo instead of helping their employees to grow.

Bloomberg -- don't have a life outside the office

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, great offices, and great people to work with. But, not a place to work if you want to have a life outside the office. There is lots of corporate talk about how they support work-life balance, but when push comes to shove, they really don't.

Cons

When Mike Bloomberg came back to the company after his last term as NY mayor, it became a company in flux. It doesn't seem like it has a clear vision of its future (beyond making lots of money and trying to keep Mike happy).

Pros

Good salary, amazing training, very smart people around

Cons

Sales and Analytic department is a nightmare. You are on live chat with client that are constantly yelling at you. You have no choice , you need to deal with it. And this is not all. Your metric are based on call% (feel like to be in a call center) , number of chat resolved and also duration (how long it takes to solve the issue). So it's not just the stress of upset clients but also having your team leader eyes on you because you are taking too long to get that resolve. Your manager will review your answers and put yo down sometimes for really no reason. At teh end you are so frustrated that you really just want to leave. Be very careful when you answer clients and how you are treating them because everyone can check what you are answering.
