Bloomberg reviews

- Analytics title and job description can be misleading - Most days involve sitting on a chair in front of 4 screens for 8- 9 hours a day and chatting with 3 -4 clients at a time helping them troubleshoot excel, giving out names of pages they can look for information - you are evaluated by how fast you answer questions, how many phone calls you make etc - your team managers rarely answer client chats themselves but are responsible for making sure you do as much as possible in the assigned time so many employees in this department can end up feel like burnt out machines - Some days can be very demanding/ draining with no breaks in between - due to nature of the job you will be told which hour to eat lunch and will need to ask permission to schedule time spent doing anything else but answering chats and phone calls ( example projects) - there is constant monitoring of everything you do - The skills you learn are only specific to bloomberg - You will most likely stay in this position on help desk(analytics) between 1.5 upto 3 YRS then the most common career path is sales - turnover rate is quite high as many people do not realize exactly what the job involves when they sign up - Low morale in this department

I have been working for this meat factory for 2 years now and if you like a sweatshop work environment this is the company for you. *Salary is crap and new hires get more paid than people who have stayed with the company for more than 3 years. *You will learn NO, i repeat, NO transferable skills, except knowing two or three functions on the terminal very well. *The work is repetitive and requires no intellect at all. A monkey with half of a brain would have no problem doing the "analysis" required for this type of work. *Evaluation is based on some stupid black box metric system which boils down to how much you suck up to management. Brown nosing is key. *There is no career progression whatsoever. I do not consider being promoted to team leader or rather admin leader as a career progression. *There are no words in the world that would describe how bad and appalling the management style is. Foxconn mangement is way better than BBG.
