Pros

Its the biggest news organization out there. Lots of brand recognition among companies. Good pay, and opportunity to work with some very competent people.

Cons

Like every large organization, there is a bit of politics. If you want to do investigative reporting or public service journalism, this may not be the place for you.

Pros

Smart people, well paid, beautiful offices, travel opportunities, prestigious name, philanthropy

Cons

Unbelievable internal politics, poor opportunities for career advancement unless you fight & fight, long hours (8-6 standard), poor work/life balance, poor morale and happiness amongst staff. They are probably reaching the maximum of the number of terminals they can install.

Pros

Learn lots Nice people Good hours Free food Great summer party

Cons

Chronic micro management - to progress ahead it all depends on how much your manager likes you instead of how you perform. If your personality is suited towards brown nosing / sucking up to your boss, then you will do well. If not, then your time in sales will be limited - regardless of your ability. Politics on steroids - every office has politics, but in Sales at Bloomberg it is like politics on steroids. If you're chummy with the right people, you'll be fine - if not, you'll be sleeping with the fish.
