Pros

Generally nice colleagues and access to the terminal Free food and nice staff

Cons

Title is analyst but real title should be call centre specialist. If you are from non-financial background then may be ok but this is NOT a finance job. Good people who actually know finance leave firm very quick due to very poor management. There are many place you can move within the department but it is not moving up just sideway. Very hard to find a job if you stay more than a year. Most of the people who work for company for years because they cannot find another job, not because they love the job. If you ever want to work or stay in any finance jobs do NOT take this job. This is going to make your life more difficult. Yes, company name is not bad but you cannot tell your interview at the next job you have been working at call centre for the past ... years.

Pros

friendly colleague ( mostly) Good place to have a very relaxed job with medium pay

Cons

Opaque promoting schemes. Being in the company for 4+ years and susscssful emploees ( 80 % of them) are people good at brown nosing with little solid skills. People with real talent and could have helped the company develop got ignored because they are not spending enough time in sucking up their management. 90 percent of the people who left the firm is because they find somewhere where their talents got appreciated. And I have seen an outflow of real talented people for years. This is the top 1 place where you are supposed to spend much much more time and energy than you should in sucking up your boss. And these people they don't know the product well enough, donno how the company will survive in the next 5-7 years with this kind of dynamics.

Pros

Amazing benefits, free food, smart co-workers, access to the terminal

Cons

Bloomberg is full of smart people, but these days, they quickly hit a ceiling and leave (at least that's the case in the news division). For the most part, managers and team leaders promote mediocre/low performers because of loyalty, even if they're horrible at their jobs/couldn't manage themselves out of a paper bag. Because of this, the organization is very bloated and the management structure slows down workflow.
