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.

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.
