Pros

Training program for out-of-college new hires is very thorough. Knowledge learned in the initial year is very useful. It is substantial in both quantity and quality.

Cons

Company is very fast paced, so there's no time to think through the design. It is more important at the company to get the results out rather than have a solid design - ie. create a hack, a short-term band-aid solution that will fix the issue at hand and get the product out the door, even if the hack will create huge amount of problems down the road. Also junior programmer's bonus is not decided based on the person's performance, but rather divided from the left overs in the bonus pool after the management and the senior developers gets their share. (Each department get a dedicated bonus pool)

Pros

Bloomberg's culture is fantastic. Really enjoyed my time in Sales. Training provided at Analytics department was put to good use when communicating ideas with clients.

Cons

Too much dictatorship from top management which suppressed creativity. Sales people rely too heavily on policies set out and slowly become cookie cutters..
