Bloomberg LP Work Experiences
4.0
Smart Team, Awful Training
Software Developer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
May 9, 2013
Pros: You get to work with very, very smart people. The salary is higher relative to most of the other firms, except Google.
Cons: Very horrible training. You get fired if you don't have 80% in training, but the actual job after training is very good.
4.0
Very good culture
Software Developer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
March 9, 2021
Pros: Great people. Very good culture and benefits.
Cons: A bit more red tape than required.
4.0
Idiosyncratic, but okay
Software Developer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
February 6, 2017
Pros: Bloomberg has its head screwed on internally and treats the development department as a core department, not a cost center.
Teams are quite regimented, but there is opportunity for internal transfers.
Instead of a Christmas party, Bloomberg holds an enormous summer party in the park, families invited, which I found a nice way of handling things.
The grad training program is excellent, if extremely hard work.
Cons: A serious case of "Not Invented Here"; you will often be working with old technologies or internal stacks. At least they are generally of decent quality.
The London office felt a bit marginalized by New York.
Don't expect to get financial experience. Financial news is not the same as finance, and developers are well isolated from business concerns anyway.
