Bloomberg LP

Great company filled with smart people.

Nice benefits.

High quality product.

You'll work hard, but unreasonably so.

Plenty of opportunities for advancement for the right people.

If you are with the wrong group, you'll stagnate.

It can be dispiriting when there is such tremendous talent so close by. There are obviously groups where their reason for existence is "yeah, we have to do this too," but there's no purpose or desire behind them.

If a group goes without a manager for a year, it becomes directionless.

Even a mediocre candidate is better than none.

As Teddy Roosevelt says, "The best thing you can do is the right thing, the second best thing you can do is the wrong thing, the worst thing you can do is nothing."
