Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
- 4.0Financial Software DeveloperFinancial Software Developer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomFebruary 29, 2016Pros: Friendly and approachable peers and managers. Care about training their developers in new technologies.Cons: Unconventional technology stack with lots of in-house software (although this is changing). Fairly large organization, so things can move a little slow.
- 4.0Idiosyncratic, but okaySoftware Developer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomFebruary 6, 2017Pros: Bloomberg has its head screwed on internally and treats the development department as a core department, not a cost center. Teams are quite regimented, but there is opportunity for internal transfers. Instead of a Christmas party, Bloomberg holds an enormous summer party in the park, families invited, which I found a nice way of handling things. The grad training program is excellent, if extremely hard work.Cons: A serious case of "Not Invented Here"; you will often be working with old technologies or internal stacks. At least they are generally of decent quality. The London office felt a bit marginalized by New York. Don't expect to get financial experience. Financial news is not the same as finance, and developers are well isolated from business concerns anyway.
- 3.0Well Paid But BoringSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomJanuary 5, 2020Pros: Well paid, good bonuses and rises. Engineering focused company with lots of smart people who love C++. Lots of free food and drinks etc.Cons: Some roles are a lot more interesting than others. I was in a boring role maintaining an ancient and horrific JavaScript codebase. Too many Bloomberg-specific frameworks and tech with not good enough docs or guides. Standard workday is 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM. The last hour and a half of every day my brain just checked out, and I would sit staring at the clock because the day was so long.
