Pros

Bloomberg is a great company if your manager is supportive and you like working in a communal environment.

Cons

Lower management has a lot of power and autonomy at Bloomberg. If, for whatever reason (personal, racial, or maybe your higher level of education than theirs, etc.), they are not supportive of you, they can make a lot of unfair decisions regarding your pay and green card application.

Most people have bachelor's or master's degrees at Bloomberg. Sometimes, older employees view newer people with higher degrees as threats to their careers due to its flat structure.

So, I actually don't recommend Bloomberg if you have a higher education degree.

Advice to Management

Upper management should be more involved in important decisions that directly affect employee satisfaction from the company, such as pay, bonuses, and immigration decisions.
