Pros

The Bloomberg name will look decent on a resume but be aware it has no where near the cache it used to have.

Cons

Inferior middle management “Team Leaders” who have no experience outside of Bloomberg are typically in their first leadership role and are noticeably immature. Toxicity, lying, veiled threats and outright dishonesty are the commonplace norm at Bloomberg. The New York office in particular loses a frightening number of people who simply can’t handle the stress, toxicity and disloyalty displayed by the team leaders. There is truly no advantage to working at Bloomberg and you’re guaranteed to micro managed by fools who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, which is as surprising as it is true. There are numerous tests (!!!) you must take each year. Get used to hearing the word “culture” at least twice a day, every day....which is ironic as the ‘culture’ is literally destroying the company and has made anyone with brain cells looking to leave. Stay away.
