Pros

-Surrounded by bright colleagues -A beautiful building to work in -A great place to socialize and network -Trendy things are usually going on

Cons

-Low pay -All calls are recorded, timed and graded. You are a number. -Terrible micro-management: If you are one minute late, get ready to be reprimanded in an email... -Do as I say not as I do mentality amongst "Team Leaders" -Being constantly slammed with phone calls and low on coverage while coworkers(those favored by management) are working on "important projects" given to them by management. "Important projects = an hour in the conference room to BS and gossip... -Word on the floor is that if the manager in charge of GCUS doesn't like you then you are more or less blacklisted from ever moving on our out of the department

Pros

nice perks and snacks. friendly securities. actually, they are the most friendly people in BB.

Cons

work is extremely boring. a lot of times, a well-trained high schooler could do the job, with much more passion. developers are being abused by business people and being threatened by upper management when they are not happy with your work. I found it funny and pathetic that even my manager is trying real hard to kiss a business analyst's ass. most managers are incompetent and lack leadership. the reason they are managers is, a lot of people run away after 1-2 years, so upper management has to pick from what's left. A wall-street recruiter I talked to asked me, why 80% of resumes he received are from Bloombergs ... ... You figure out why.

Team Leaders are vindictive and clique-ish

Pros

The health and benefit package was very good (you don't pay for health insurance). The free food pantries was great but you gain alot of weight on it.

Cons

Politics & favoritism galore! Team leaders know how to get around the metrix/merit/ point system, so if are not a favorite (matter how hard you work), they know how to make it for you to always be below the target numbers! It does not matter how many times you change or "improve" metrix, team leaders can get around it and IT IS subjective!
