Pros: - The office at 731 Lexington is very beautiful and easy to commute to. - The food pantry is always stocked; you will be very spoiled. - I'm a big fan of their trade floor seating style. It encourages openness and communication. - The training program for new hires is very good. You make many new friends. - Good benefits. Bloomberg was a great way to start my career right out of college. The company relocates you to NYC, which for me was the opportunity of a lifetime. I was given many responsibilities here and overall felt I was compensated fairly. They train you to be very productive, and that helps when looking for a new career.

Cons: The constant on-call duty can get stressful. You will get calls at 1 AM for seemingly minor issues. Upper management can be egotistical and bullies. Their solution is to scream at engineers until the problem is solved. The culture has a "big brother" feel. There are security guards everywhere, and you feel like you are being watched all the time. The software is very chaotic and poorly managed. You will constantly fight fires.

Pros: While others report some outdated technologies and an in-house tech stack that can make knowledge transfer to other companies less than ideal, there's a very clear company effort to modernize. On top of that, it seems like the company has invested in its engineers to compete with some of the other top firms (especially true for the intern program), and it shows in the level of talent that the company attracts. Overall, this is a very competent engineering department and a good place to work that's getting better every year.

Cons: Outdated technologies and a largely in-house tech stack.

Pros: Good for starters, opportunities to practice leadership skills.

Cons: Poor management in terms of resource allocation.
