Bloomberg reviews

The work place environment is great, T.V. monitor everywhere, glass meeting rooms, expensive desk and chairs, locations in top financial districts. Culture at Bloomberg is very interesting as well with colors and art. Also I have grown to love the perks with the food and beverages.

The atmosphere is fast paced, the salary is decent as are the bonuses (at least so far), communication channels are fairly clear compared to many other places I've worked. I've seen some complaints about programmer notes in some of the other posts, but at least there are systems for tracking issues, projects and work completed--I've worked in many places outside the finance industry where things aren't nearly as clear-cut. Many of the Plan B changes appear to be intended for improving retention, especially for employees with families. Bloomberg used to be notorious for requiring "face time" from employees; having the option to work at home for a day when kids are sick makes life a lot easier.
