- Interview 2: Two interviewers, two code questions.
After that, I received a rejection.

Proprietary software, high school type work environment
Senior Software Developer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
May 4, 2012
Pros: Nice benefits and higher than average pay.
Free snacks and drinks, and various training programs.
Larger than normal bonus packages.
Cons: The atmosphere at Bloomberg is very "high schoolish."
A lot of insecure people trying to justify their job when it could be very easily eliminated.
Tons of bloat and bureaucracy.
Not a place where you want to work if you want to work in a typical software development environment.
If you like to re-invent the wheel or work on Fortran, this place is for you.
If you want to gain real skills to help you grow technically, look elsewhere.
