Bloomberg LP

Good working environment and colleagues. The office itself is quite nice and a big kitchen with all sorts of snacks.

Most of the senior management have their positions solely because they joined Bloomberg from the beginning. They do not have a lot of exposure and experience of the rest of the world and are not very competent in management and technology. Unfortunately, they also have a lot of authority and ego.

This causes mistreatment towards lower-level staff and policies that don't make a whole lot of sense. If one does not gel well with the management layer, no matter how competent you are, your career and salary will not progress that far.

Senior management positions should be based on competency, not on how many years one has been in the company.
