Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
3.0
Not bad, but not related to finance
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
February 23, 2015
Pros: The benefits and the location were better than most companies. I think it beats higher salaries with less benefits.
The workplace will keep you updated on the markets just by being there.
Cons: The compensation is okay, although the benefits outweigh it. Employees in the finance department should be paid more on commission than salary.
2.0
Excellent client focus and good practices

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.

Great company to work for, but different departments have varying experiences
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: The company as a whole cares about its employees. Benefits are top-notch. Summer parties are the best, and the company has excellent core values.
Being a private company has a huge advantage, as the company can invest in its people through education and other perks that are rarely found elsewhere. They also promote volunteer work, being green, and focusing on your health.
Cons: Certain groups in the company can have a really bad working environment or a really awesome working environment. It is hit or miss, which tends to depend on who is managing the group.
The company also works with really old technologies, which is not transferable to other companies.
The development environment, or lack of one, is really old and not efficient.
