Pros: Remote working, a very good community.

Cons: No cons, grateful to work here.

Pros: Fair pay, good snacks, good people.

Cons: Some legacy systems aren’t fun to work with.

Pros: Fantastic pay and benefits. Great internal technical training. Projects are generally very interesting; you can see the direct consumer impact. Summer picnic is fun with free drinks, food, and some rides and activities for families. Depending on the team, flexible temporary work from home options are available for any issues at home, such as childcare.

Cons: Extremely high cost of living. Company is very politically active. You'll receive emails and other messaging from management regarding their political activism, especially after 2016. Partially due to being in NYC, and partially from political openness from management, the office can feel very progressive-leaning, making more moderate and conservative individuals feel uncomfortable. Middle management is sometimes disorganized. This is from stuffing too many projects into sprints and quarterly planning, which causes breakdowns in future sprint and quarterly planning meetings. The "Bloomberg Development Environment" (BDE) and other Bloomberg-specific toolchains and technologies mean many of your skills are less portable to new companies if you're looking to move.
