Pros: The company values its employees a lot. There are many opportunities to learn and build your skills, whether in the finance sector or on the programming side. The management is very helpful and encourages employees to learn.
To give an example, those who join the company from a non-computer science background are given 16 weeks of amazing training on Unix, C, and C++.

Pros: The UX Team is very solid, full of bright, friendly people. The benefits are top-notch, and the employer pays for all of them. Free snacks, coffee, and soda.
Cons: The core product (Bloomberg Terminal) is 30+ years old and very difficult to update. Working within this constraint can be very frustrating. Also, you get a strong sense that your every email, chat, phone call, etc., is tracked.
