The Bloomberg Way is the Only Way

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The most beautiful office you'll ever see, with free health care, smart people, and a very collaborative and friendly environment.

Cons

Expect to work with very old code (20-25 years, including Fortran) written in very old C++. As a first job it's a good resume builder, but get out after a few years as you'll learn nothing marketable. The company has a philosophy of "testing in production" so expect to get called in the middle of the night. The corporate culture is strong so you'll either fit in or get expelled. Be prepared to Drink the Kool-Aid. Don't bother applying if older than 35. During my time I saw no one hired with significant (> 10 years) software development experience.
