A good place to start-off your career but not a place if you are looking for long term commitement

Senior software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good working environment and colleagues. The office itself is quite nice and a big kitchen with all sorts of snacks.

Cons

Most of the senior management have their positions solely because they joined Bloomberg from the beginning. They do not have a lot of exposure and experience of rest of the world and are not very competent in management and technology and unfortunately they also have a lot of authority and ego. This causes miss-treatment towards lower level staff and policies that don't make a whole lot of sense. If one does not gel well with the management layer, no matter how competent you are, you career and salary will not progress that far.

It is a very hectic job that demands long hours and offers little prospect for advancement.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are good. The health insurance plan is generous. There are other perks related to fitness plans and transportation.

Cons

Long hours are expected of employees. Mid managers are often in meetings of doubtful benefit. Some software is built using poorly designed in-house tools.
