Pros

Culture and colleagues are amazing. The company also truly cares about employees, and gave plenty of benefits. Good work life balance too.

Cons

There was a lack of career progression, especially in the department I was in - Global Data. I felt like I had no transferrable skills outside of Bloomberg.
