Bloomberg LP

A lot of money, all cash.

If you're totally cool with the corporate life, you never have to leave. The company is insanely stable. You'll survive all market conditions.

Old tech is painful.

Return-to-office sucks.

Bureaucratic nonsense is real (even if they try to argue it's not).

The office is new and modern, but kinda lifeless.

90% of the time, there's no food.

When there is food, it's a bowl of soup, and people line up 100 feet waiting 5 minutes. It feels very depressing.

The "values" just feel like a bunch of fluff to make everyone feel good and feel like they're doing a good thing.

The Bloomberg Philanthropy is a lot about the PR.

It all kinda feels dystopian.

There's not enough room for everyone to get ahead (naturally, not their fault).

To get ahead, you'd need to spend years (even if they say you don't need to) just because there are no positions available.

And there will be others just as good as you who are qualified.

The terminal is old and annoying.

It's cool at first, but it gets old real fast.

You never actually learn how to use the terminal like a finance guy.

There's no real training/on-boarding to teach you the Bloomberg ecosystem (which is important).

They won't listen anyway; it's pointless.
