Pros
  • Working with smart people, most of them are ready to help.
  • Well-furnished pantry where you can grab a coffee with colleagues.
  • Lot of training options for you to learn (even if not directly related to your working domain).
  • Possibility to move within the company (change team).
  • Get to travel quite a lot, depending on how much you are involved in outside-work activities.
  • Philanthropy: if you like it, you can get involved in helping the world.
  • Bloomberg matches most of the financial donations you make.
  • Flexibility. If you have a good reason, you can have a flexible schedule (6 AM - 4 PM, for example).
  • In general, management will try to please employees (as well as interns).
Cons
  • Long hours of work, not ideal for work/life balance.
  • Team Leader management is sometimes flaky.
  • Performance Review Evaluation doesn't seem to be consistent between teams, which makes it unfair in some cases.
  • You need to be ready to show off to ensure you get noticed and receive a fair review at the end of the year.
