Pros: Pay and benefits are very good. Job stability at Bloomberg is very good. The company encourages employees to volunteer with various charities.

Cons: The company insists that everybody comes to the office every day. Until recently, working from home was never allowed. Even now, it is highly discouraged by management. Software is hurried without good design and with little documentation. There is a lot of proprietary software, and after a few years, your expertise starts to decay. The open-plan seating arrangement does make communication between employees better, but the noise and interruptions make concentration impossible. The corporate culture, with its automated system of tickets, gives you the feeling of being constantly rushed to deliver. The overly complex and poorly organized software lowers productivity.

Pros: I worked here a while back. The training was good, I had lots of smart peers, and there were areas to learn.

Cons: Antiquated tech. Need to push to learn about other areas and join other teams.

Pros: All of the above, plus internal mobility (options to live in NYC, SF, London, Hong Kong) and the opportunity to choose what team you join.

Cons: Pay trajectory typically less than other big tech firms and hedge funds.
