Bloomberg Financial Sales & Analytics Program reviews

Uneducated, poor management. There’s a reason they hire 20+ every couple of months to keep up with the number of people quitting. Managers can range from ex cinema vendors to no college degree whilst being 22 years old due to excellent brown nosing. Join if you are willing to sell your dignity. Feedback is one sided. Group of old friends that are managers who will achieve what they want even if it includes forcing you out of the company due to them disliking you. Absolute micromanagement and no career progression whatsoever. You will be stuck in this loop of jobs if you enter unless you have prior experience.

There are three roles you carry out in this department: answering clients' questions, calling clients with updates on the software, calling clients to discuss how their needs can be better covered with the Bloomberg terminal. The first role is what takes up most of your time and is what causes most stress, but the others only add to the generally accepted term of "glorified call centre", where we work 9+ hours a day with only the breaks we allow ourselves, as the workload at no moment allows you time to breathe. Your schedule is fixed to the minute and your work is broken down to micro-movements that are monitored with a great variety of statistical measurements, imposed by a management evermore worried to show that they are adding value in some way. You do not rest and are not given time to carry out more value-adding activities during work hours, so do these after work, thus burning out after a few months. Your relationship with management can depend strongly on your performance in regards to your statistics, which do not reflect your efforts and passion to excel. And this can later have a negative impact on yearly salary increments.
