Process
It was a first-round on-campus interview. Two interviewers interviewed me together, focusing only on algorithm questions. I had just ended a tour and was not fully prepared. Although I had seen the two coding problems before, I failed to work them out smoothly. I received the rejection letter soon after.

Pros: Everything is team-dependent.
Pay, work ethics, quality of work, etc.
In general, pay will be good in any team.
If you are in a relatively new team, then you may be using C++ and somewhat latest technologies.
Cons: Most teams will not tolerate tardiness and late arrivals; however, late departures are always welcome here (in fact, much needed).
Fortran and really old technologies are still prevalent in some teams. If you work there for 4 years, you are rendered almost useless for any other company.
Things are changing, though, and it's much better.
There is definitely a lot of politics, which is not obvious to leaf nodes.

Pros: Great horizontal structure with a strong emphasis on internal mobility and continuing professional education.
Cons: Many problems you encounter are domain-specific to Bloomberg or revolve around handling legacy tech. They could do a better job making the development experience feel more modern.
