Bloomberg Financial Sales & Analytics Program reviews

Where do I start... - Clueless team leaders who have no idea of how to manage and motivate people. - Absolutely no scope for creativity, you have to follow very strict guidelines which quite often don't make sense. - Micromanagement - no matter what your job title is and how senior you are, if you are 5 minutes late from your lunch break, you'll get a lot of stick for it. - Working hours are long - you have to be in the office from 8 to 18. Very limited career opportunities - preference always goes to external candidates. Overall, it's a good company to start your career at and it looks good on CV but not that many people stay.

Notorious for extreme micromanagement. Structure creates a situation where direct managers are God. Famous for being a "Meritocracy", but what they actually mean is "Monoculture". They promote on the basis of your fit which supposedly includes performance, but more accurately, cultural fit. Cultural fit largely means being liked by your manager. If you are the type of person who can drink the Koolaid, do as your told without question, tow the party line, brown nose etc. You can be Moulded into a Bloombot and fit right in. However if you are an independent thinker, creative, risk-taking, and god forbid; a bit eccentric. You will probably struggle (not to say you can't succeed. It just makes it much much harder).
