Bloomberg's a great place to learn about the markets.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

What you learn on the job, great product, cool offices, great place to learn about the broader markets. Especially as a place to launch your career, it's hard to do better. If you are interested in the markets to any breadth or depth, you will learn far mor in a year here than in two years in the best MBA program.

Cons

There is no clear job progression, and it seems to firm hires a lot of people with little real idea of how they will contribute. The work life balance is tough - long work hours, and the micro-monitoring of employees goes far beyond any other place I have worked for before or since.

Pros

-Very welcoming to new starters, gain responsibility from day one -more holiday days than other companies -Beginning salary in UK for entry level is better than other financial firms

Cons

-Networking skills are more important than proficiency in your work (best people do not advance and get discouraged and eventually leave) -Few opportunities for advancement -No opportunity to negotiate salary change (predetermined) -Management in regional offices seems focused on personal advancement (moving to US) and not on improving the company. US management seems to care much more about the product -Performance measurement focuses to heavily on timeliness and should focus greater on accuracy

Pros

Fast paced atmosphere. Everyday is different. You have the opportunity to be creative. The one thing you have to remain true to is that you cannot maintain an inexpensive product and be able to service your clients well.

Cons

Rates are a race to zero in these markets. Many firms are looking for the absolute cheapest way to sustain their business. You dictate how much you want to make but in this economy, firms are shutting down left and right.
