      Great perks but many middle-level managers need to be shown the door

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Great-looking office. 2. Friendly colleagues. 3. Some top editors are really good at the work and encourage people. 4. Looks extremely good on your CV. 5. Of course, the pantry. 6. Good benefits.

      Cons

      1. Middle-level managers are incompetent or lost or indifferent. Rare to find any other kind. This is a demotivating factor for most employees. 2. Long work hours. Kills any chances of having a life outside BBG, especially if people have long commutes. 3. Less opportunities for growth. Competence is not the factor that pushes people to higher positions. It's normally other considerations like how much the management likes you or how much you will bend according to the top guy's will. So basically need to be nice to the boss. 4. Little appreciation for great work. There are few managers who ensure an employee gets his or her due. 5. Bosses decide what the market wants. People work not because the market needs it but because the boss wants something done.

      Pros

      Training program for out-of-college new hires is very thorough. Knowledge learned in the initial year is very useful. It is substantial in both quantity and quality.

      Cons

      Company is very fast paced, so there's no time to think through the design. It is more important at the company to get the results out rather than have a solid design - ie. create a hack, a short-term band-aid solution that will fix the issue at hand and get the product out the door, even if the hack will create huge amount of problems down the road. Also junior programmer's bonus is not decided based on the person's performance, but rather divided from the left overs in the bonus pool after the management and the senior developers gets their share. (Each department get a dedicated bonus pool)

      A great environment if you are ok with being mediocre

      Pros

      The office and company culture are really great. Friendly nice people for the most part. Non-hierarchical, making senior level employees approachable. Free food and good perks such as museum discounts.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement. A large portion of the company come from the entry level programs who start their careers at Bloomberg and then never leave. Sometimes a sense of entitlement, people believing they are better than their peers
