Fantastic internship program with lots to learn and do
Financial Software Developer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
August 5, 2015
Pros: Great intern events throughout the summer, at least one per week. There is always something to do.
You're given your own project to work on and complete throughout the summer. When you're done, you get ample opportunities to show off what you've accomplished to upper management.
Everyone is willing to help or chat with you about their role or the company.
Lots of financial knowledge to gain, with provided classes in finance and tech.
Cons: The work isn't always super challenging or structured, which makes it hard to focus and be productive sometimes.
The tech can be a bit restrictive since it's almost all proprietary, but the people who literally built it are around and willing to help you leverage it the best you can.
Not a fan of the open floor plan.

Good place to work, but it won't keep you satisfied
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
December 16, 2008
Pros: Bloomberg as a workplace has not had the best reputation in the past, but a lot of that has changed. It is a very open kind of place, which some people like and some do not.
Cons: A problem is that a lot of talented programmers leave because they are really not challenged there.
As a quant, Bloomberg will not necessarily be the brightest star on your resume, regardless of famous quants that consult there.
