Pros

Company strong, good culture, collaboration is great, office environment is great

Cons

The company is ok, but data department is a dead end.. Most, if not all the TLs (Team leader, the lowest level of manager) are inexperienced and have 0 knowledge on how our client is actually using our data/functions. The department constantly brag and inflate the "wins" which make ppl feel good, but all the "wins" are either fake, or have no value. People, especially TLs, spend most of the time doing nothing but micro managing. Don't expect any good leadership from TLs. The only type of ppl who got promoted to TLs are those who are good at corporate BS and can keep talking non-sense forever.

Pros

Good benefits such as health etc..

Cons

The moral and work environment in this department is at an all time low. For such a company that tries to promote transparency the whole time, this department does the complete opposite. Management does not look after existing employees and shows this every year with minimum pay increases, instead using the money to pay ludicrous wages for people they pull in from the street who end up writing garbage. Management has turned what could be a great research department into a hamster wheel. The same nonsense is regurgitated on a regular basis and takes away from what could be insightful ideas generated. More and more people continue to leave the department and are fed up with how it is being run into the ground.

Pros

Defined Working hours - your shifts are defined, typically leave at 5pm or end of shift unless you're stuck in a chat. Great benefits Comprehensive Training - Bloomberg offers training to do every aspect of the job, regardless if you have a finance background.

Cons

Overloaded - each employee is expected to assist 3-5 clients at the same time. Each client different questions , anger level and skill sets. Once you gain more knowledge the chat difficultly increases. Department has a "if you're not overwhelmed you're not working" philosophy Over quantification: the department has pushed for a quantifiable metric in every possible area, discounting any intangible skills you add. Each employee is viewed as comparable across so many different roles within the dept, when in some cases the comparison is not valid. During review time management can cherry pick uncharming stats, that often do not explain the full credit of your work, to justify mediocre raises. Micromanagement - middle managers overly scrutinize work, to show their effectiveness as "leaders". Every aspect of your day is assigned, down to the min, by your team leader, the ability to work on your own scheduled prohibited, feeling as if you're being baby sat.
