Pros: Line on the resume. Good pay, but if you count all the hours you really work, it's less impressive. The building is really cool: multicolored glass, transparency, lots of open space. Events scheduled for interns. Flexible work hours.

Cons: Work is not really challenging. Lots of repetitive work. Need to fill out programmer's notes every day. If you're a programmer and you hope to learn more about finance by working here, it won't happen. If you're an intern, you cannot bill more than 40 hours per week. Almost everybody works more, but you won't be paid for overtime. Free food and drinks are always there, but if you're health-conscious, most of it won't be of much benefit to you. IB - "Instant Bloomberg" - instant messaging for Bloomberg employees - can get in the way of work. Old technology.

Pros: * Friendly coworkers * Exposure to many different technologies. (I did notice that most other reviews say the exact opposite, but as I mentioned in the headline, this really depends on the team you work for. Fortunately, my team uses more modern technologies in software development compared to the rest of the company.) I got to work in all parts of the technology stack, i.e., the backend, middleware, and the frontend, which usually doesn't happen in most software companies.

Cons: * Most R&D teams need to work with other teams, but usually there is no proper communication between them. You need to constantly badger the other team to get any work done. * Work can be very demanding sometimes.

Pros: Beautiful office, great pay, good health benefits, free snacks. The company encourages participating in social causes and has smart coworkers. There are also lots of holiday days. Definitely a great place to work.

Cons: * Issues with working from home. * A lot of artificial deadlines and emergencies. * Getting increasingly bureaucratic as it grows. * Very senior management does not care about lower level.
