Good place to work, but won't keep you satisfied.

Financial software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg as a work place has not had the best reputation in the past but a lot of that has changed. It is a very open kind of place which some people like and some do not.

Cons

A problem is that a lot of talented Programmers leave because they are really not challenged there. As a quant, Bloomberg will not necessarily be the brightest star on your resume, regardless of famous quants that consult there.

Business Outlook

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.
