Pros: Very good compensation, good health insurance plan, free snacks and soda, and breakfast.

Cons: 1. There's no career growth at all. There's too much political stuff in this company. I've seen many people who don't contribute more than others on the team but get promoted to team leader or manager, just because they have good personal relationships with their boss. 2. It's not very professional in terms of software development. Bloomberg hires a lot of non-professionals to do the software development. Many people never or seldom developed software before they joined this company. So, there's a lot of poor code waiting for you to maintain and fix.

Pros: Great location in New York City, have access to everything. Get a great insight into the process of developing large software projects and the capital market.

Cons: Lunch break is short, with a comparatively intense schedule. Higher cost than working in other cities. Maybe too crowded if you are a quiet guy.

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.
