Good starting point, but lots of legacy tech
- Decent health benefits: normally $25 copay for PCP and $40 copay for specialist.
- OK WFH reimbursement: $500 pre-tax money on your paycheck.
- Decent 401k match up to about $7500, fully vested after 3 years though.
- Decent work-life balance if you are not on a busy team.
- Free access to Bloomberg terminal.
- 50% reimbursement on wellness each year (Bloomberg will pay you at most $300).
- Tuition reimbursement around $10K per year, subject to manager approval.
- Free entry to many museums in NYC with Bloomberg badge.
- Great team mobility if you want to switch teams.
- Around 20 paid leave days and unlimited paid sick days.
- OK green card policy (H1B + 1 year for new grads).
- Free access to Bloomberg terminal and the news website.
- Decent pantry but no real breakfast or lunch.
-
Lots of legacy tech. Depending on the team, you need to code in Fortran and work on Solaris/AIX machines that VS Code does not even support.
-
Lots of internal tech which are not pleasant to use. Almost nothing related to the Bloomberg Terminal is modern.
-
Development workflow is extremely lagging for lots of teams. No CI/CD, no linting, no formatter, no Docker. Your service will run on a barebone VM instance. Be ready to spend lots of time on figuring out how to build and ship your code.
-
Most teams adopt the Scrum methodology, so expect daily stand-ups. Some teams have stand-ups two to three times a week.
-
Opaque performance evaluation and salary bumps. People say there is a magic formula to determine your salary increase.
-
Your badge in/out times show up on your profile and after your email address.

It was a 45-minute tech interview. I was asked some background questions and one coding challenge. The interviewer was very nice, and the question was not hard. My status was not good, so I didn't resolve it very fluently.
