Pros: Nice office, fun people, access to the terminal, location, tada.

Cons: Lots of high-up managers lack technical knowledge.

Pros: I'm on a product that impacts many clients. As a result, there's always lots of work to do, from implementing new features to optimizing performance. My team almost feels like a startup, in that each person's contributions are valued and needed.

Cons: As the product I work on is already pretty mature, the features I work on sometimes feel like micro-optimizations to an already very stable product. I would like to see more analytics from features we ship, and would like to be more involved in what we do with such feedback. It seems like we never look back, and even if we create a feature that isn't used, we never seem to ask why. We always have tight deadlines ahead of us, and so implementing these new features takes priority. Sometimes I wonder what the product vision is.

Pros: People are first-class, very bright, and motivated. Bloomberg has hired experts in many different aspects of technology, finance, and news in one place. Flexible work style accommodated.

Cons: - Still slow to adapt to new technologies. - Very focused on the terminal product.
