Bloomberg LP

Great benefits - everything you can think of, including 401k matching, food & snacks, etc.

Very stable company - even during the last financial crisis, they never fired anyone (or so I was told).

Great office - Lexington 731 is probably one of the best-looking offices in NY, if not the best one. Prepare to meet famous people.

Nice people - generally, people are really nice and helpful. Many know each other for years, if not decades.

You will be working with very professional, nice, often very experienced, but mostly mediocre people.

Prepare to work with in-house technologies created by those people. You will spend years acquiring non-transferable knowledge (comdb2, anyone? Or maybe a spoonful of Rapid+?) that nobody in the industry cares about.

Eventually, you might find yourself in a situation where Bloomberg is the only company that is willing to pay you for your outdated/deteriorated skills. Welcome to the family.

At least nobody will scold you if your project takes three times as much time as planned for no reason. You might even get a promotion if you worked for the company long enough.

Make it easier to "do the right thing"
