Pros

Besides the great benefits (health care, snacks, dinner), Bloomberg is a good place for you to learn and to work.

It provides good internal mobility if you want to move to a different group and location.

The open environment provides both an opportunity and distractions. The culture encourages teamwork, helping the customers. Since there is no title, the management generally is more accessible, and it is easier to contact someone outside your team.

It does have a work-from-home policy, and the application sometimes depends on your team leader.

Cons

Like many other big companies, there is bureaucracy and internal politics. Sometimes, the accountability can be poor. But since Mike's return, it has changed somewhat to break down the silos and get in touch with the customers more.

The technology on the IT side is not the most advanced, and there are lots of legacies. But there are lots of smart people, and many new technologies are being used in various places.

Advice to Management

A project manager with vision on the business is still rare to find. Some of the business is not moving fast enough to the market.
