Bloomberg LP

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.

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.

The team leaders are some of the most hard-working people in the company, and it's rare to see support from their managers.
