Business Outlook

Pros

There's nothing positive about working at Bloomberg.

Cons

Management in news are all willfully racist and emotionally/mentally abusive. They are master manipulators and spend their resources to gaslight employees they've mistreated.

Many rude employees, and they get away with their behavior and discrimination

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good. The culture is that if you don't complain and just finish your tasks, and bear some rude behavior you can survive number of years.

Cons

There is a culture of retaliation. If you bring it up to the boss about discriminant rude behavior, they don't take any action. One manager even removed me from the meetings with that rude employee, and explained me that it is for my good. Rather than correcting the behavior they slowly demote you.

The Bloomberg Way

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+Good salary potential +Good reputation +Ability to interact with anyone within the financial industry from back office to C-Suites.

Cons

+Zero flexibilty +80s US-leadership style which can be very brutal if you do not follow the Bloomberg way. + There are basically 4 people in the company who get whatever they want and everybody does what they say. Then there is "Mike" who is seen as god. Any middle manager would jump of a cliff if they were asked to as if not they wouldnt be in their position. +Your own opinion doesn't matter. +HR is non existent. Even if HR is involved the decision making is always done by sales.
