Pros

The company is quick-paced and has a start-up mentality. Bloomberg moves very quickly on business decisions. This company spends serious cash on making its offices and employees feel taken care of and is very green-conscious. Free snacks and continental breakfast are served daily.

Cons

There is no privacy anywhere in the office and working here is like working in an airport. The company's main product, the Bloomberg Terminal, has a horribly outdated user interface that predates Microsoft Windows conventions. However, this has also probably helped to secure it as THE official financial tool of the industry. Management is a bit old-fashioned. There is a big emphasis on being in the office between 9 to 5, and flexible work arrangements are undervalued. The company would rather give it's employees unlimited sick days than open up flexible work arrangements.
