no career growth there

Software development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

good salary for new graduates

Cons

no career growth, every team working on 2 -3 functions, people's knowledge of finance is limited in small area, so it will be very hard to get job from other finance company like investment bank, hedge fund if you stay in Bloomberg for too long time. The tech Bloomberg use is very old, it's extremely difficult to find a job in high tech company if you stay in Bloomberg for more than 3 years.

Good experience out of university, but not beyond

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Gave me a chance although I didn't have much on my CV, beyond a university degree. - Full of clever people (do they hire anything other than Oxbridge students?) who are passionate about the energy industry and the challenges of moving to a low carbon future. - Very busy work environment - you're unlikely to get bored. - Part of the Bloomberg group and all the perks that go with it (nice office, a lot of media exposure, etc)

Cons

- Salaries are generally low and tailored to the type of people they hire ie, not very experienced. Staff turnover is quite high as most people leave after 2-3 year stints in the company. - The business has essentially stalled since its acquisition by Bloomberg in late 2009 owing to a very difficult environment (oversupplied European carbon market, focus away from climate change issues, etc). Don't expect great pay rises every year. - BNEF is sometimes biased about low carbon energy and keeps talking up the market - not always justified in my view. A lot of "predictions" for carbon price that we made over the years have proven wildly wrong.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, occasionally interesting work, cosmopolitan employee base

Cons

Superficial and artificial "culture". Independent thinking is not very welcome. BBG is only interested in loud yes-men who self-promote, and fake enthusiasm is the norm. Brash, manic and pushy company ethos makes for deep-set insecurities in staff.
