      There's a lot to learn, but a broken development process.

      Pros

      You will work with very smart people, several of which are on the C++ standards library committee. The free food is good. The 731 Lexington office's location is an easy commute from just about anywhere.

      Cons

      Development is panic or bugfix driven, so you won't get time to plan or improve. Have that development style for 30 years, and this is the root cause of the other cons: There is no project management to speak of. The build process is time consuming and not automated. The technology is old. You can download freely available libraries/tools that are better than what's mandated internally.

      This was a "GREAT" company when Mike Bloomberg was running it.

      Pros

      Bloomberg provides a solid benefits package for its employees. It is one of the few companies that I have worked for that pays the entire cost of health insurance for its employees. The company also provides 3 meals a day at "no cost" at its Princeton, NJ location. If you are interested in state-of-the-art analytics for the financial markets, this is a great place to work.

      Cons

      The company is very "metrics driven". Many of the jobs are very stressful and tedious. Management has little trust in its employees. And for a modern company, they are not accomodative to employees who seek work-life balance. Career opportunities are primarily in the company's New York HQ. Employee morale is very low since Mike Bloomberg has left to be mayor of New York. The company is very youth oriented. I have seen few employees over 40 promoted or treated well. There is a hidden, and at times overt, atmosphere of hostility toward older employees. All employees are expected to fit the "Bloomberg mold." There is little tolerance for individual differences.... Finally, management is quick to point out shortcomings, but rarely praises things that are done well.
