Not for everyone

Pros

Good benefits, free snacks, and one of the better compensation packages available in my field. Technological resources are plentiful.

Cons

In return, you are expected to be available at all times, 24-7, even on vacations. There is little praise for work well done, and continuous pressure to do more, faster. Senior management is aloof and lacks vision..

Pros

Great product that continues to develop. Mike Bloomberg has grown a wonderful organization. Great people and culture. Benefits are exceptional.

Cons

Traveling to clients can be grueling depending on your sales territory. Some senior management have worked their whole career at Bloomberg and lack outside experience. This lack of experience causes a lack of vision and some very bad management styles.

Pros

I have some very fond memories of working at BNEF. As a unit of Bloomberg it has its own unique culture and atmosphere, stemming from the days before the acquisition. The analysts are extremely smart, picked from a wealth of talent - available from the best schools. The sales teams are focussed and driven. Performance is rewarded on a team basis, which has its drawbacks, but ultimately fosters a collegiate environment where people work for each other.

Cons

Few people do, but those who leave, do so because they are offered better money elsewhere. Also people can feel frustrated by the flat structure if they are not used to it.
