Pros: A lot of internship events, Broadway shows, parties, etc.

Cons: Poor code quality. Engineers here are just mediocre. Two-faced team manager. The internship project was boring and ill-conceived. You will not have much buzzword to boast on your resume. Almost impossible to negotiate the return offer.

Pros: Relaxed environment with interesting tech.

Cons: Office politics are definitely a con.

Pros: Work-Life Balance is good. I sometimes leave work around 4 pm.

Cons: Overall an old company that cares mostly about seniority and is stubborn about policy. 1. They insisted on returning to the office during COVID times. This makes me think they don't care about their employees' health (since I am a software engineer, it's not like I really need to complete the work in the office). 2. In some teams, what you can learn is finite. After you learn every part, you probably won't learn new things unless you change teams. 3. Your assessment of your mentor or TL doesn't seem to affect them. Therefore, some mentors or TLs won't be very helpful. 4. For non-senior-level software engineers, Bloomberg helps process the green card after one year of joining. However, the company asked the employees to stay for at least two years after they got their GC, or you need to pay them back. Moreover, if you leave the company within three years, you need to give back your 401k match.
