      Great company to work for.

      Pros

      The company offers competitive pay, and a great benefits package that is better than investment banks. There is free food. The people working there are friendly, smart, and generally easy going compared to people at investment banks. More job security than investment banks. Fast paced work environment and some very interesting work. Ability and talent, not seniority, are recognized and rewarded. Training program for new grads.

      Cons

      The work culture is very unique. Some strict rules. It's much bigger now than 5 years ago and profit sharing are no longer that lucrative. Some of the senior management's decisions are difficult to grasp.

      Working at Bloomberg is a terrible thing to do to yourself

      Pros

      Pay is good and if you show up on time and write tidy programmers notes you'll never get fired.

      Cons

      Utter stifling of creativity and innovation. You're required to detail all time spent in programmers notes. Try putting in some notes about thinking about the big picture! It would be comic if not sad that humans are expected to work and act as automatons -- and dumb automatons at that, impervious to the fact they're being talked down to at every minute. I've watched really smart people who needed the money become shadows of their own selves. Oh and not to mention: the technology is antique.

      Free food, dating is encouraged; great as a first job (no one else need apply).

      Pros

      Great building, competitive salary, excellent benefits package, multi-cultural environment. If you are fresh from college, have no work experience, or would like to find someone to date, an excellent place to work! Unlikely to get fired for any reason. Free food. Really high turnover, so you may get a sales job even if you were a programmer.

      Cons

      Ethically void. A/C and Heating are unstable. If your boss is harassing you, and you tell their boss and HR, YOU will be written up (but still given a bonus). Management is incompetent (promotions based on the ability to brown nose, not actual ability to do/learn/improve anything aside from staying in same position for 8 years).
