Pros

Snacks, good time off, no fixed ill days, good training program, no formals wear required like some other companies,inception of new technology.

Cons

bad management, dont even give you your own cubicle, overhyped company which tries to be glamourous on the outside, but void inside, old software, over worked people, low wage hikes, hostile to immigrants, biased performance reviews, over all a closed system where people either cover their a$$ or bully people around to get ahead. Some teams are innovative, however most are doing what they were for a long long time...overall unreasonable people...

Pros

Pay and Benefits are very good. Job stability at Bloomberg is very good. The company encourages employees to volunteer with various charities.

Cons

The company insists that everybody comes to the office every day. Until recently working from home was never allowed. Even now it is highly discouraged by management. Software is hurried without good design and with little documentation. There is a lot of proprietary software and after a few years your expertise starts to decay. The open plan seating arrangement does make communication between employees better but the noise and interruptions make concentration impossible. The corporate culture with its automated system of tickets give you the feeling of being constantly rushed to deliver. The overly complex and poorly organized software lowers productivity.

Good compensation, but difficult to advance in company

Financial applications developer

Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation at Bloomberg for entry level qualified positions is relatively high. It is a well-known company and a very recognizable brand name.

Cons

There is very little upside to working at Bloomberg. The compensation system is nowhere near ideal, as your bonus for this year is paid out in the following year, to ensure that you stay at the company. Mobility is extremely limited, and it seems that the company has been moving backwards ever since Bloomberg left the company to become mayor.
