pays well, but don't expect too much 'high tech'

Pros

Pays well, Good work-life balance, Fast-paced work, everyone gets a lot of responsibility, the ability to quickly see the impact of your work

Cons

legacy software, tougher to look for a job elsewhere once you quit due to the extremely proprietary nature of technologies used, some very smart people, but a lot of people who have been writing GUI code in fortran too

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and Benefits are very good. Job stability at Bloomberg is very good. The company encourages employees to volunteer with various charities.

Cons

The company insists that everybody comes to the office every day. Until recently working from home was never allowed. Even now it is highly discouraged by management. Software is hurried without good design and with little documentation. There is a lot of proprietary software and after a few years your expertise starts to decay. The open plan seating arrangement does make communication between employees better but the noise and interruptions make concentration impossible. The corporate culture with its automated system of tickets give you the feeling of being constantly rushed to deliver. The overly complex and poorly organized software lowers productivity.
