Great Company, but pay is not the greatest

Pros

Bloomberg is a great firm to work for. The people are really helpful and friendly. It is not cuthroat and competitve like the rest of corporate america. You do learn a lot at Bloomberg and can move around in the company. The benefits are good; 401K (50% match), Excellent Medical,Dental and Vision, 20 vacation days, 3months paid maternity leave, 3 months paid medical leave, and unlimited free food & beverages(continental breakfast, chips,cookies, fruits and raw veggies,soup, etc) in the pantries.

Cons

Overall compensation is very poor. Hours are very long. In some departments, small chance of upward growth. Extremely low morale. Very toxic environment. Poor senior management. They do not listen to their employees' feedback. Hire people with great titles and past experience who contribute very little to the business. Get paid a ton but basically do nothing.

Easy to join due to high staff turnover but don't stay

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Start on £30k and it's an easy intro to finance. The office is nice and there are great networking opportunities if you get to know the right people in news or sales. If your career goal is to become a manager it's very quick to progress - some people get promotions within a month. Lots of different nationalities within the office too.

Cons

Management is known to be terrible (perhaps for reason above) so turnover rate within the company is very high. Anyone who is intelligent but does not wish to join management tends to leave within 1.5 - 2 years.Due to this the people in each team always have newbies who lack specialist knowledge. Also, the company is hugely bureaucratic which frustrates anyone with any intelligence or strong work ethic.

Highly stressful "big brother" culture, "subjective" reviews, "lifer" management with lack of leadership capabilities.

Pros

20 days of vacation, very defined roles, many people doing the same type of jobs.

Cons

Inexperienced managers, highly "micro-managed" environment where your hourly tasks are published on a firm-wide schedule where everyone can check what you are doing. Mandatory badge in/badge out system viewable by everyone at the firm. No one has a cubicle so expect to work in desks where you are side by side with colleagues. There are no cafeterias or places where you can eat lunch, strategically devised so you will have to eat at your desks. If you are someone who needs rigid structure and micromanagement, this is the place for you! Many "lifers" stay because the company rewards loyalty- the longer you stay at the firm, you will be incrementally rewarded, which creates countless "lifer" management who have little diverse expertise as they this is the same job they have held for 20 years since college.
