      Pros

      Pantry Steep learning curve at start Benefit,medical insurance package Some colleagues are bright and friendly Nice office. Training opportunities.

      Cons

      Some of the management are incompetent, lack of experience or management skill,biased and talk a lot of bs, who only care about their own matrix instead of the company's well being. The company treasures ppl who can talk and show instead of those who can work,deliver and make a real impact to the business, thus loosing good talent, retaining and promoting mediocre ppl who only know saying yes to their bosses. Limited career prospects within the company. Every decision is top down and there is no feedback system. Too US dominated.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to learn about the markets, and bloomberg as a whole, which is widely used in the financial markets industry. Great way to network. Benefits include 4 weeks off. Lots of perks in sales, like free lunch when on client visits. Great benefits

      Cons

      Managers expect you to work long hours, high turnover. HR goes straight to your manager with a complaint and lets them deal with the issue directly, so you really can't complain about anything without your manager having the last say. Need a doctor's note on the 5th sick day you take. Salary is terrible and it won't increase much, maybe 4-5%. You will be penny pinching working for this company.

      It's educational, but it's more a Wall Street job than a reporting gig.

      Pros

      Physically nice spaces to work. Very smart, competent colleagues around the world who are generally able and willing to work cooperatively. Easy to get through to top decisionmakers for interviews thanks to company reputation.

      Cons

      Completely arbitrary pay and bonus structure. Newsroom management is left to editors, whose HR capacity is often limited to nonexistent. Work-life balance in San Francisco can be fine, but that's not the case in New York or other bureaux where I worked. Theoretically horizontal management structure, but I never had any interaction with higher level editors. Most of my best stories died on the vine as editors dithered -- attitude seemed to be "big stories = big problems." Inexplicable penny-pinching on reporter travel and magazine subscriptions seemed odd in face of extravagant company parties and office spaces.
