Pros

Nice colleagues, they usually hire the nicest people they can get, which makes the environment bearable Canteen is "OK", with loads of different options ( 90% very fatty, thou ) Good exposure to the financial market

Cons

Middle management has absolutely NO CLUE on how to manage people or knowledge of the best practices in the industry Irritating micro-management Lack of genuine interest for employee's growth - HR simply don't care The best thing you can learn going through the chaotic documentation is how NOT TO document anything People are encouraged to take long working hours, producing LOADS of poor quality output. Meritocracy doesn't really exist there - people are promoted for their looks and their ability to procrastinate on real issues

Pros

Free Unhealthy Snacks Good Annual Leave Policy

Cons

Still adhering to the outdated Victorian model of factory management, the company maintains an excessively high level of micromanagement. The seating arrangement is deliberately designed to ensure constant visibility of employees' screens by managers. Despite promoting environmental consciousness with slogans like "Save the Planet" and "Go Green," the company insists on employees commuting to work daily, resulting in fuel consumption. The weekly one-on-one meetings with managers are more of a source of torment than actual assistance. Managers and team leaders diligently monitor daily assignments and perform quality control, which unfortunately means that exemplary performance goes unrewarded, while even the smallest mistakes result in intense scrutiny. Salaries offered by the company are notably low, and the development of transferable skills is virtually nonexistent. Consequently, it becomes increasingly challenging to explore external job opportunities with the limited skill set acquired at Bloomberg. Moreover, the presence of numerous inept individuals, unintentionally confined to their positions, who lack awareness of the outside world, further exacerbates the company's issues. As a consequence, the company experiences a distressingly high attrition rate.

Pros

Company has amazing healthcare and 401k Perks. Currently all offices are offering food so you dont have to venture out due othe pandermic, which is great. Great perks are the only reason people stay here.

Cons

The management is anything but flexible, especially during this time. Mangement sends out emails saying that the ask to return to the office 3 days a week will be flexible and understanding of various scenarios but when you approach them asking for exceptions, there is no budging. I know several people with serious housing information who are still expected to show up to work under these circumstances. This pandemic has been a completley off putting situation which has made me realize how much the company really cares about its employees.
