      Pros

      You get free food and drinks. summer party

      Cons

      Weak management. Very cliquey, Bloomberg claims to be a transparent company but nothing is further from the truth. People are very independent just worrying about their own backs careers. There is no management support all they seem to focus on is sucking up to senior managers for their own personal gains. You are not treated with any kind of respect just a commodity. The whole structure of the company breeds disloyalty mistrust and low morale. I would not advise anyone to take up a career at bloomberg it DOESNT do what it says on the tin. The only benefit i came away with was that it looks good on my CV period !

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Relatively easier to get in, no previous experience is required, just interest in financial markets is good enough. - Sponsor international workers - Offers you the opportunity to learn about different asset classes, talking about an overview rather than in depth knowledge. - Decent entry level salary - A good brand name on CVs

      Cons

      - Arrogant mindset they think they are like an investment bank, but they are not! - Too much politics, image is more important than what is really being offered/achieved. - Very controversial and not trust worthy performance evaluation system. - Everything is being decided in the U.S, the london office just follows the instructions. - Arrogant and ignorant management.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Benefits Package Smart and stimulating colleagues Opportunity to learn about the world of finance. Regular working hours after you have been here for a while(more or less) Pay is good in good years. At the first sign of a lean market the incentive pay is disproportionately reduced. Great place to stay if you have kids and need an easy job to coast through or are waiting to collect social security.

      Cons

      Technologically in the stone age - hence once you are here for a while it is very hard to get another tech job outside as your skills deteriorate. . Absolutely no opportunities for growth. Management does not really care about growth of their employees - they just provide lip service with all the latest initiatives as they have to tackle the alarming attrition rate. Senior management is very old school and does not know how to run a 21st century knowledge shop. It is a very 1980's mafia style work culture. Loyalty and appearance of loyalty is prized above everything else. New York Times called it a 'digital white-collar sweatshop'. There is no thought given to software processes - it is a single minded focus to get stuff out to clients as fast as possible without regards to quality. As a result the product is a hotchpotch mix of applications which no one understands how to use. In their rush to get products out they have made some really bad software decisions which they have then spent man-decades correcting.
