Pros: Beautiful office.
Pantry, corporate perks, and a summer party.
Work is rewarding and not too overwhelming.
The experience here is well recognized and valuable for future employment.
Cons: Very outdated technology! There is code still written in C and FORTRAN.
The MSG is terrible, and you are forced to use it every day, sending/losing emails.
Politics! Although, to be fair, the amount of politics is very reasonable for a company this size.
BAs hissing down your neck, and you do have to work overtime sometimes.

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.
