Phone interview where I was asked two technical questions about basic algorithms and data structures. It started off with the basic "Explain why you want to work at Bloomberg" and projects you put on your resume. Very laid back.

Top-down management doesn't know tech
Software Developer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
September 17, 2016
Pros: Good insurance, benefits, 401k.
Fancy building, free snacks.
However, any other tech company would have at least this level of benefits.
Cons: terrible for career growth as a software developer. You cannot learn from doing the work.
You have to learn by yourself.
Because they use outdated tech, you will have a hard time switching jobs to a real IT company.

A much better place to work for a Software Developer than most organizations
Software Developer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
May 20, 2012
Pros: Good learning - something new to learn every day.
Good management - easy to communicate with higher management and business.
Salaries/Bonuses/Healthcare/Incentives - among the best in the country.
Very beautiful office - this definitely counts in liking your job.
Opportunities for fast growth.
20 vacation days - much better than many companies.
Cons: Hectic. Need to slog sometimes.
Some legacy code to be dealt with at times, but this depends on the team.
No cubicles, just desks. This makes it hard for personal matters, like checking your emails or answering personal calls. And your manager, his manager, his manager – all eyes are on you.
Manhattan: Commuting time is high.
