Pros

Perks: lunch, 401K, pretty good healthcare, great pay.

Cons

The technology stack is often as old as Methuselah, except for very few groups. Too many inexperienced managers, who have worked nowhere else but Bloomberg, lead to a massively insular culture with respect to the best of breed in technology. Going there as a senior engineer could seriously stall your technical growth.

Advice to Management

The tech world has changed – embrace an open technology culture. Having a 1980s technology stack isn't going to keep ambitious, progressive engineers around for the long run.
