Bloomberg reviews

Work is very monotonous. Will eventually be replaced by machines. Not all managers are well equipped to be managers. Lots of turnover, most people rarely stay on the same team more than 5 years. Hard to move up, very flat structure.

* Absurd micro-management * They promote a mobility culture, yet when you do move positions, peers hired from the street will always get more money than you do * Permanent negative stimulation (you're never good enough) * Often people who manage to look "busy" (pack agenda with mostly unnecessary calls and meetings) get higher up that the ones that actually do something but lack handwaving * Befriend management to increase your chances to be noticed (re. point above) * On top of the already long hours, you will almost always end up putting a number of extra hours, which are not paid * Consequently, your personal life ends up either seriously impacted or revolving around work * Talent retention has nosedived in recent years * Not necessarily a con, but new hires pay is now consistent with being a vendor, not the "banking" levels from years past. Expect an average vendor salary.
