Pros

*Fast-paced *Opportunities for those who are prepared to seek it *Diverse organization - you get the chance to move around

Cons

Bloomberg is a very diverse organization with very loosely defined management structure, so pretty much everything differs among the various teams - i would say that i am lucky to be working in a team with whom i get along really well.. my advise would be that you should choose your team carefully when joining bloomberg

Financial software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary. Nice building. Friendly colleagues (for the most part). Free snacks. Open communication.

Cons

You don't know what the REAL project requirements are until they are 3 days from due. Have to work with stupid financial market conventions that make no sense. The code written here is terrible, and nobody have the time to police it.
