Pros

In Bloomberg management definitely think that engineers are their greatest asset and they invest a lot into their engineers. There are multiple big internal conferences every year, hundreds of continues education courses anyone can attend, it's quite simple to sign up for attending external conferences like CppCon as well. Bloomberg gives away most of their revenue for philanthropy, you can also sing up to multiple various activities yourself, like planting trees, helping homeless etc.

Cons

The compensation is a bit lower comparing to FAANG. There's also no tech lead career path for most senior engineers not wanting to become a manager. On a bright site you can contribute beyond your team.

Pros

Slowly moving towards open source, and standardizing best practices

Cons

Flat hierarchy (everyone becomes senior after 3 years) means the career advancement varies greatly across teams. Similarly, this puts too much power in the hands of managers and upper management. If you’re unlucky, you’ll be working under a manager that micro manages, and overworks employees just to get a chance at promotion.
