Pros

- Decent Frat culture - Good people and have meet close friends. Everyone at the bottom is in the same boat. - Get stepping stone into another career or world. - Look if you need a job. Accept it but ready to leave at soon you get that next call.

Cons

- Please have an exit plan if your going into any role at BBG - Horrible pay for any role in Princeton - Treat you like dog Sh5%T. - little to no growth - Mike and the boys at the top - if you are remotely ambitious about your career and future do not go! - the turnover is absolutely unreal. I have about 10 years of experience and worked for several funds. I developed a good network. Never before in my life have I seen the level of turnover here. Pretty much everyone leaves. - Management is all politics -they hire you with this fancy training and work but in reality they hire a monkey to do this work. YOU DO NOT NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE TO WORK IN GLOBAL DATA. - Pay is below average. If you think its decent ask any of your friends what they are making! - Management in global data has absolutely no idea what is going on. Huge political roadshow. - WORKING AT BBG CAN BRING YOU CAREER RISK AS WELL BECAUSE FINANCE IS A SMALL WORLD AND PEOPLE TALK. - They will come ready to backstab you if you don't do the thing you want. - Retirement options are garbage (trust me I worked at other companies). There are only about 5 investment options lol - You are working with a ton of type C people. - I know this is a lot but I would strongly that you reconsider your options please!

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
