Pros: - Free "sneaks" (but the selection has become worse) - Nice office building in a good location - More stable than investment banks and other financial service firms

Cons: - No privacy in the office. - Small desk, no cubicle. - Cost cutting: benefits have been reduced year over year and are getting worse. - Slow growth. - No more free medical insurance. It used to be free, but now the company charges insurance premiums. - High turnover. Many people leave within 2 years or less. - Very political place, very hard to get things done. Senior management does not want to take risks by investing in new projects. - Flat structure, hard to grow. - Long working hours. - Below market average compensation.

Pros: Bloomberg LP clients are the most important people at Bloomberg LP, without exception. Implements industry standard best practices and more. Various benefits as mentioned in many other reviews.

Cons: Frequent changes in library dependencies result in reduced productivity. Too much time is wasted getting your executable to link. There are an endless list of common technologies used, such as C++, Javascript, Unix, XML, SQL, and GTK, but there is still too much proprietary software and tools. In most teams, your performance is measured in terms of how well you are able to use Bloomberg-specific technologies, i.e., your mastery of Bloomberg-specific technologies.

Pros: A great place to work at the intersection of finance and technology. A great building and perks in New York City. They provide in-house training for employees and offer involvement in social activities.

Cons: Management is not supportive of international employees in their visa applications and green card applications. They try to exploit people who need sponsorship.
