      Definitely a good 1st company to work for

      Pros

      - Working with smart people, most of them are ready to help - Well furnished pantry where you can grab a coffee with colleagues - Lot of training options for you to learn (even if not directly related to your working domain) - Possibility to move within the company (change team) - Get to travel quite a lot depending how much you are involved in outside-work activities - Philanthropy: if you like it, you can get involved into helping the world - Bloomberg matches most of the financial donation you make - Flexibility. If you have a good reason you can have a flexible schedule (6am - 4pm, for example) - In general, management will try to please employees (as well as interns)

      Cons

      - Long hours of work, not ideal for work/life balance - Team Leader management is sometimes flaky - Performance Review Evaluation doesn't seem to be consistent between teams, which make it unfair in some cases - You need to be ready to show-off to make sure you get noticed and get a fair review at the end of the year

      Pros

      Nice to go on the mornings. Friendly colleagues. Interested clients.

      Cons

      Too much control on persons it feel like the mafia is controlling you. Very bad middle management like they just come out of secondary school with zero experience dealing with people.

      Core grad program is essentially a call center

      Pros

      Yes you learn a lot, and get to go one some decent meetings. Yes you can have a comfortable career in sales. And yes, one of the perks is the pantry 3-4 years at Bloomberg now, very competitive salary, not far off doubled what I started on. International movement.

      Cons

      Should you apply for a job because of the free food. Absolutely not. I am massively surprised that that is the first thing that comes to mind when employees are reviewing their life at Bloomberg. Work should be about what you are doing not what you are eating. Working in the "Analytics" department is very misleading. In no way are you an analyst. In no way are you learning the skill set to become an analyst. You are not reviewing balance sheets, or capital structures, or debt distributions. You are a minion, a cog in a wheel, a beast of burden, forever in fear of the dreaded QC. You churn out MSN/AOL style chats wherein a client comes in and asks a question. You don't know the answer, you pass on to someone more experienced. If you want to go to sales and have a 9-6 job (8-6 in London) then great. Nice salary (so you can't leave) and essentially a new job every 2 ish years. New team, new challenge can't complain. If you want to get involved in the world of finance, don't touch bloomberg with a barge pole. It is a market vendor, nothing more. Internal movement into the the more analytical aspects of bloomberg is near impossible.
