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.

Tiring place to work with a lot of pressure and almost no fun.

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

Team Leaders are vindictive and clique-ish

Pros

The health and benefit package was very good (you don't pay for health insurance). The free food pantries was great but you gain alot of weight on it.

Cons

Politics & favoritism galore! Team leaders know how to get around the metrix/merit/ point system, so if are not a favorite (matter how hard you work), they know how to make it for you to always be below the target numbers! It does not matter how many times you change or "improve" metrix, team leaders can get around it and IT IS subjective!
