Pros: Nice company, I enjoyed working there. It genuinely cared for its employees. There was a good atmosphere, great perks like the pantry and the amazing family-friendly summer party, continuous learning with lots of offerings for online and face-to-face training, and the flexible working-from-home policy, with all the tech in the office supporting people connecting from home or collaborating remotely. Great engineering community. Very good philanthropy and volunteering culture. I felt proud to be part of Bloomberg and have so many genuine opportunities to make an impact. Comp was good, but not as good as in other Big Tech or finance companies, at least back then (I left a few years ago).

Cons: Too much outdated, proprietary tech; I felt a lot of it wouldn't be useful in my next jobs. It was hard to use cutting-edge tech. Employees could have a totally different experience, great or awful, depending on their management chain. And not much was done to quickly correct management issues leading to stress, anxiety, and attrition.

Pros: Great work-life balance, so that means extra time, and it'll be ideal for you if you need it for whatever you want to do.

Cons: Do not expect people to yell at you to do this and that. If you want growth, you likely need to figure it out by yourself a lot.

Pros: Good office, good benefits, and good location.

Cons: New York City is so crowded.
