Pros

Employees matter. Opinions and effort matter. If you want to achieve, grow, excel, the system is there for you. The company invests in its people and expects the best. Some might call it pressure, some of us call it encouragement to do our best in everything we do.

Cons

Remembering our roots as we get huge and global. The Bloomberg Way *is* a real thing. As we acquire, hire, and expand, those mantras need to be shared & promoted WHILE taking on new life and legs. This is the root of our brand, and there should be a modicum of understanding & promotion of it in every employee around the world.

Pros

Mostly great colleges Good managers who cares about their employees Transparency (anyone can find out what other employees are working on) Opportunity to get training on the job Employees are encouraged to move around and there are programs specifically set up for employees to find the right team Management becoming more concerned about the needs of developers (every getting new computers and much bigger monitors) Some good technical work done depending on the team

Cons

A lot of what you experience can vary drastically depending on your team (Unfortunately, some teams may have to maintain application written using out of date technology, but I think that is slowly changing for the better) Some internal politics to deal with, but I think this inevitable in a company of this size
