Great place to start career

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In the data department, there are many resources to grow your skills in whichever direction you want (SME, tech, etc.) no matter your previous experience/degree. There are collaboration opportunities across departments like Product and Engineering to expand your network and get exposed to other parts of the business/potential career paths.

Cons

Return-to-office (RTO) flexibility is needlessly strict. It does not matter who you are, how high of a performer you are, if you are not meeting the 3-day in-office requirement… you are urged to leave. Feels like we are sheep and can’t be trusted to do our work unless in the presence of management, no matter the strain RTO puts on personal lives. No matter what works best for us.

Micro Management and Extreme Localization

Pros

Nice friendly colleagues to work with

Cons

The management in Asia is too localized it doesn’t even feel like working for a US based company. Too much micro management and unfair treatment towards their employees. Your opinions and voices are unheard and get shut down immediately. There is no such thing as logical reasoning behind every “No”s and demands. Unless this type of middle management gets improved, it will be very hard to say that there is a flexible and consistent Bloomberg culture across ALL offices. They need to realize keeping their current employees happy is the real way to save costs, not replacing them.

Toxic company. Stay away.

Pros

none, really. There were a few good people but they were being heavily taken advantage of to make managers look good.

Cons

Mismanagement and incompetent people rising in the company. Toxic culture. Disgusted with what I saw. Best decision was to leave.
