Pros

-great company culture and great people -interesting work and easy to move across teams -travel opportunities -flat hierarchy -can be your own boss within certain limits

Cons

-great company for graduates and without family when you try to make friends and work as much as you can. However, if your life is not only in Bloomberg, there is no such thing as work-life balance -compared to working hours, benefits are not as market rates -very long working hours

Pros

-Great pay, definitely reward top performers - Great benefits (paid healthcare and plenty of PTO) - Pantry full of free food and snacks - Work with very talented people - Extensive training - Everyone in mgmt is very nice

Cons

- There are a lot of office favorites. Some employees enjoy a lot more flexibility than others, regardless of performance. Very inconsistent standards given on employee by employee basis - Office politics. Only suiting for a large company with a DC office - No real career advancement. Once you take a job, you might have one more title that you can move to but thats about it. Mgmt positions don't open much and when they do, they are given to favorites (not performance based). Several employees will leave BGov to move to a different part of BLP for advancement - Very regimented. Management wants to push the idea of collaboration but it's only done to make you feel heard. No real execution from there or opportunity to learn from other departments on what makes a business go. - Lack of drive. Large deals are to be had, but mgmt is more concerned about following the rules than getting more revenue. Lots of red tape - Top performers are rewarded with cut down territories, more red tape, and less flexibility.
