Pros

The benefits are simply outstanding and it's a company that doesn't put up with disrespecting peers, so it's a Stepford Wives vibe where everyone needs to buy into the system; stable employment and almost impossible to get fired (including a direct report -- with years of documented underperformance under several managers -- I was told I had to "manage up" rather than let go); then once managed up was told by my manager it's a shame this person now couldn't be let go. Strange place to work.

Cons

White-collar sweatshop where Mike and his cronies talk a great game about employees getting out and doing community service and having a quality of life and such but really don't; you're subjected to 10+ hour days (the unwritten rule) and pinged on weekends. Need to be a Cool Aid drinker to relish working there. Micromanagement is overboard. Antiquated work tools.

Pros

-Looks great on a resume

Cons

-You will be micro-managed -- you're boss knows if you've been away from your desk for more than 15 mins. Team leaders roles are just to micro manage -There is no career growth -There is no diversity at management levels. Entry level teams are diverse, but there are few women/POC in management roles. -Sales is an adult frat house. That is the culture Bloomberg promotes -The pay is terrible. You will be gaslight my HR/management when asking about raises/comp. In most cases, if you change roles within the company HR does not provide details about salary changes -TLDR, when I decided to leave the company I got 4 competiting offers all doubling my Bloomberg salary

Pros

Some editors are good. But this is not the norm.

Cons

Completely incompetent middle managers exploiting and kicking reporters to make themselves look good to their superiors in higher management who themselves are totally out of touch. Reporters work 7 days a week at all hours and are told they are not allowed to write but just to send raw material and bullet points to editors who will write. Vindictive and incompetent managers who thrive on putting reporters into a state of duresss and kicking them into the grass when they are burned out. Full of racism and inequality
