Bloomberg is a company on the decline.

Senior software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg has a great compensation and benefits package. It is a good company to develop your career fresh out of college.

Cons

Bloomberg was a great place to work a few years ago. However in the last few years it has become increasingly bureaucratic. It has lost the vision and zeal of its founder, Michael Bloomberg. Today the same creativity and boldness that Michael Bloomberg encouraged is no longer an asset, in fact, it is discouraged. The user interface for its primary product is dated.

Some interesting work but the hours are long and the holidays are crap

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

very technical environment, most others in the programming group in London are highly talented. Money is fairly good considering the job is safe and you're not actually in a bank. Some of the work can be interesting though that is very dependent on the group you are working in.

Cons

the hours are too long and it is expected that you 'go the extra mile' often. Holidays are rubbish. Some of the work due to the technologies used can be repetitive, and often you don't have time to do the job properly. Some of the people you have to deal with on the business side are clueless.

Do not work there unless you have no other choice

Pros

Not bad as first job, especially if you dont know what else is avilable. Also good if Bloomberg name appears on CV. Others mention free food, but in London office they dont even have place to eat for employees: you are supposed to eat at your desk or eat out all the time. My salary at Bloomberg would not allow me to do much of the latter. It is good palce for someone who like to work non-stop, prefferably without breaks, who can give 110% for the business and leave -10% for yourself and personal life. It is not me for sure.

Cons

long hours, too much pressure for the money you get; "pushing" all the time from the management; unbearable
