Pros

A great company to join as a university graduate. Great benefits If you travel you'll be staying at the best five star hotels in town

Cons

Less fun to work if you're a few years into your career, if you have a family and kids as work is demanding and there's NO FLEXIBILITY. Michael Bloomberg has built a successful company based on TOTAL CONTROL of his customers and his employees. Big banks pay a fortune for it's products and Bloomberg controls the market so competition is limited. Employees swipe in and out when they enter/leave the office allowing management to see exactly where you are. Management does also have access to people's diaries, and keep track on the number of phone calls and meetings that are made. Employees are given a warnings if they're 5 minutes late in the morning and no one is allowed to work from home unless they're a manager. Employees are so brain washed so they totally accept the strict controls in the company.

Worst Possible Management

Pros

Some of the best colleagues I've ever worked with - very diverse crowd.

Cons

Most incompetent, arrogant, prejudiced management I've ever encountered. Most have a rather large chip on their shoulders. Too much power in the hands of too few. May depend on departments - but I certainly saw no room offered for growth. No work-life balance, they expect you to be on-call 24-7.

Pros

- Fast, ever-changing. There's always a new target - Newer hires get a lot of responsibility. You will be making meaningful contributions within a few weeks of joining, and will have the opportunity to plan out your systems and try out new things - Good work-life balance, probably 90-95% of the time - Verticals have opportunities to try the latest and greatest in tech

Cons

- Occasionally gets hectic - Verticals sometimes do not get the resources required allocated for engineering purposes - Not clear on long term career path
