Pros

The benefits are really good and the compensation is very competitive. The office conditions are some of the best I've ever seen and, financially speaking, the company is very stable, even in times of economic hardship.

Cons

Sometimes I think that management sets unrealistic expectations and are too hardheaded to realize that their ways don't work well. It ends up being that the lower-level programmers get blamed and pushed harder to the point of being overworked and very unhappy.

Pros

AT bloomberg there is good benefits and good salary, and the flexibility to manage your own projects however you want.

Cons

There is very low motivation to be original and innovative. Frequently trying new technologies is viewed as "over engineering" . I am of the view that exploration should be done continuously to remain competitive.
