Pros

The salary and bonus is great. Pantry with all different food wasn't best but was okay. Chances for career growth is good. And if you are eligible you will get reimbursement for tuition fees, that's a good thing.

Cons

You have to be workaholic. No work life balance. The later you leave every day the more your higher manager likes you irrespective of what you do.

Pros

Nice benefits and higher than average pay. Free snacks and drinks and various training programs. Larger than normal bonus packages.

Cons

The atmosphere at Bloomberg is very "high schoolish." A lot of insecure people trying to justify their job when it could be very easily eliminated. Tons of bloat and bureaucracy. Not a place where you want to work if you want to work in a typical software development environment. If you like to re-invent the wheel or work on Fortran, this place is for you. If you want to gain real skills to help you grow technically - look elsewhere.
