Bloomberg reviews

I worked here for many years, and wanted this to be the company I'd really turn into my lifetime career. The office is amazing with their free snacks and tons of perks, but after a while you realize its all there because everything else associated with working there is LITERALLY miserable. They give you great vacation time (4 weeks to start), but trust me you will need every single day of those 4 weeks just to avoid ending up in a padded room in a mental institution. I made some amazing friends here, but there are SO many people who are honestly clueless about how to manage people and/or how to interact with clients. For every action taken there are 52 internal meetings and 15 procedures that are old and do not work. You will spend half of your energy fighting internal battles just to get a YES or NO answer. Unless you literally want to use this as a "stepping stone", are looking for something to beef up your resume for a year, or if you have no interpersonal skills and can't find any other job - then stay away.

- In house politics rule the day. - Meritocracy is an illusion to keep the kids they hire blinkered. - A few notable old timers excepted, there is hardly any real knowledge or expertise left outside of NY. - In any case no ones really listening to feedback anyway. - Management jobs are hardly worth having. No real management controls or decision making abilities exist outside of a handful of people in NY. The rest is just a series of titles without real power. - Companies Arrogance is staggering - This company is 100% an example of the adage "Perception is reality". As long as they portray an image of competance, people buy it. Actually they were once great but are only trading on their name today. - Classic example of a Company in the "Cash Cow" phase of its business. - No genuine regard for peoples development. - HR is exclusively a tool for management control of Staff. There is absolutely No real care for employees and their concerns. - Thorough disregard for compliance related issues internally (probable reason for recent scandals) - Treat staff as a robot whose every move is co-ordinated and screened.
