Pros

Somewhere to work as a backup plan between jobs. Free toilet paper. Free snacks. Free training how to be a better Bloomberg employee.

Cons

Stacked ranking Stacked ranking destroys a culture. Period. Speaking teamwork is lipservic, but really there are no teams or in other words you are a team of one since stacked ranking. Best to the hard-working employees trapped there with no place else to go. B and C bosses, which means if you are an A player you will not be promoted as that would upend the B and C bosses. True or I couldn't say it.
