Pros: Loved the people, and the snacks! A great company to do an internship with!

Cons: None I can think of. The pay is fairly good, but maybe not as good as some other companies might provide.

Pros: Financial stability (both at the corporate and personal level), freedom to try new solutions, and leadership and technical skills are recognized and rewarded. It's a big company with many interesting areas.

Cons: Corporate politics. Difficult to get big projects started or done well. Chaotic upper management with unclear success criteria.

Pros: Working with extremely intelligent, kind, and dedicated people. Learning opportunities never cease in either financial or technical domains. Salary and benefits are unbelievable. The name is well-respected in the financial world. Very tolerant and patient with new developers. Offices throughout the world can make travel a lot of fun.

Cons: By virtue of being such a large company with thousands of developers, Bloomberg can't always offer interesting projects to everyone, so it takes a long time to make tangible impact on a product. Development is very slow because the developer tools are either nonexistent or impossible to use. There are many incomplete home-brew solutions. With that said, there has been a lot of effort to correct these issues and retain talent over the years. There is not a lot of interaction between the various divisions of the company.
