Business Outlook

Pros

People are pretty smart within certain groups. Work life balance is pretty good with above average pay as long as you are considered a good performer.

Cons

Company has gotten very big which creates a lot of useless middle management and office politics. Can be tough to find a real career path that you would be excited to stay for.

Business Outlook

Pros

the pay and benefits are good, Bloomberg always looks impressive on resume,

Cons

there's only one way of doing things at Bloomberg. Corporate culture doesn't suit everyone, modelled on investment bank. Fosters a cult-like workforce led by people that believe their own publicity which is always worrying.
