Pros

The paychecks are good, the work is doable, and often fun and exciting. The food and snacks are in endless supply.

Cons

Bloomberg television is a disaster. They over-hire just so they can fire at will. They will have you train someone who will then replace you. No opportunities for women to advance, it's definitely a boys club. Management sends out new directives and policy changes on a daily basis. Absolutely no job security unless you are staff. Employees are very disposable.

Pros

- free food in the cafeteria - nice office building - looks good on your cv - some exposure to finance - benefits are okay

Cons

- looong hours even in training - really really old technologies used, and java script! - a huge base of legacy code which is a pain to deal with - not enough libraries, code base, documentation from past, similar projects that could be used, you end up doing everything yourself, again - you have to program on the bloomberg terminal, which is a pain
