Pros
  • 3 days in office hybrid.
  • People are generally nice to work with.
  • Good compensation.
  • The company is pushing towards a unified CI/CD pipeline (in C++ and in Python). Most of the teams are already on it, and standardization is ongoing.
  • The company is in a stable financial position and, as a private company, it is doubtful there would be mass layoffs at any point.
  • The profits are mostly redistributed to charities.
  • The company encourages volunteering.
  • Good career opportunities - the company encourages going into leadership, but also expanding horizontally (upskilling, improving impact as an IC).
  • Good learning opportunities - frequent courses are done by Bloomberg and external teachers.
  • It is expanding self-serve DB / Message queuing / Redis, etc. capabilities - no need to get through much red tape if you need to set something up quickly.
Cons
  • 3 days in office hybrid
  • A lot of legacy code depending on the team
  • Depending on the team, no client communication
  • 9 to 6 workday
  • Most of engineering are on on-call rotation
