Pros

Bloomberg LP clients are the most important people at Bloomberg LP, without exception. Implements industry standard best practices and more. Various benefits as mentioned in many other reviews.

Cons

Frequent changes in library dependencies resulting in reduced productivity. Too much time is wasted getting your executable to link. There are an endless list of common technologies are used such as C++, Javascript, Unix, XML, SQL, and GTK, but there is still too much proprietary software and tools. In most teams, your performance is measured in terms of how well you are able to use Bloomberg-specific technologies, i.e. your mastery of Bloomberg-specific technologies.
