Some good, some bad, a lot of eh
Fantastic pay and benefits. Great internal technical training. Projects are generally very interesting; you can see the direct consumer impact. Summer picnic is fun with free drinks, food, and some rides and activities for families. Depending on the team, flexible temporary work from home options are available for any issues at home, such as childcare.
Extremely high cost of living.
Company is very politically active. You'll receive emails and other messaging from management regarding their political activism, especially after 2016.
Partially due to being in NYC, and partially from political openness from management, the office can feel very progressive-leaning, making more moderate and conservative individuals feel uncomfortable.
Middle management is sometimes disorganized. This is from stuffing too many projects into sprints and quarterly planning, which causes breakdowns in future sprint and quarterly planning meetings.
The "Bloomberg Development Environment" (BDE) and other Bloomberg-specific toolchains and technologies mean many of your skills are less portable to new companies if you're looking to move.
Work to remove politics from official messaging and from day-to-day office communications, to reduce the discomfort some employees feel.

Bloomberg LP Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Multiple rounds of technical interviews. Didn't get passed round one despite answering all the questions and any followups they had. It was two LeetCode questions, and you would write out your code on a HackerRank interface.

Had three rounds. Be sure to speak more! Communication matters. It's okay if you do not have clues at first, but you need to talk to them about how you think of the problem, and they will guide you through it.

It was a straightforward experience. I talked about my resume for around 10 minutes and then solved a LeetCode-style question. Afterwards, there was an opportunity to ask the interviewer questions about Bloomberg.
