Pros

Nice benefits and higher than average pay. Free snacks and drinks and various training programs. Larger than normal bonus packages.

Cons

The atmosphere at Bloomberg is very "high schoolish." A lot of insecure people trying to justify their job when it could be very easily eliminated. Tons of bloat and bureaucracy. Not a place where you want to work if you want to work in a typical software development environment. If you like to re-invent the wheel or work on Fortran, this place is for you. If you want to gain real skills to help you grow technically - look elsewhere.

Pros

- great benefits - great 401k - 4 weeks off with 5 days roll-over - a lot of education opportunities and classes - support exploring other jobs within the company - travel spending limits are generous

Cons

- big brother atmosphere - long days when in the office - long days and expect a lot of client meetings and travel after work hours when meeting clients - political and a lot depends on your relationship with your supervisor (if he/she likes you, you get away with a lot. If not, you don't) - limit your up-side in earnings

Pros

Generally surrounded by smart people who like to work hard, play hard, and solve problems as a team ... which makes for a good team-work and stimulating environment. Also, lately more supportive of healthy lifestyles, with ability to occasionally work from home. Various opportunities for further education available in-house.

Cons

Cutting back on benefits recently. Raises have gotten smaller too. Also lately, too much "fluff recognition" (instead of show me the money).
