Pay is decent when factoring in bonuses Benefits are better than most employers in the financial industry Work Life Balance is acceptable

Cons

Upper Management does not communicate to employees and often makes decisions "in the dark" that do not make sense Policy is not applied equally to all departments specifically work from home Management promotes from within based on politics and not abilities or knowledge Favoritism is common practice

Pros

There's a lot of media reports about working at Bloomberg, especially in the news division and most of them are exaggerated. A lot is expected, but comp is based on performance - not seniority.

Cons

Long hours (although not as long as reported). There is pressure to get work done quickly at times. There has been a cut back in expenses.

Pros

If you feel the need to get a Big Name on your resume, like I did, you could hardly go wrong with this company. There is an army of smart people working here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business has accumulated incredible of bagage around software development and the byzantine terminal always yields less information then you would expect. It's a small wonder that any development takes place using those archaic systems.
