Most people are ready to help navigate the complex jungle that Bloomberg is. Perks are out of the world, they know how to look after employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to start off a career. They provide plenty of perks for employees to make them feel appreciated. They were patrons of the arts and community service, which is quite unique within the finance industry.

Cons

Too big to be recognized for your individual work - unless you make it a point to flaunt your achievements. Since the company is so big people tend to be overly and unnecessarily competitive in looking out for themselves rather than focusing on the team goals.

Pros

competitive salaries good work culture openness takes care of employees great location in nyc profitable business model

Cons

In IT(or R&D as we call it) the scope for growth is limited because of the flat hierarchical structure. Also the managers nor the company takes much active interest in employee's professional growth. also the work can get boring sometimes.
