Pros

- Fast, ever-changing. There's always a new target - Newer hires get a lot of responsibility. You will be making meaningful contributions within a few weeks of joining, and will have the opportunity to plan out your systems and try out new things - Good work-life balance, probably 90-95% of the time - Verticals have opportunities to try the latest and greatest in tech

Cons

- Occasionally gets hectic - Verticals sometimes do not get the resources required allocated for engineering purposes - Not clear on long term career path

Pros

Amazing benefits, free food, smart co-workers, access to the terminal

Cons

Bloomberg is full of smart people, but these days, they quickly hit a ceiling and leave (at least that's the case in the news division). For the most part, managers and team leaders promote mediocre/low performers because of loyalty, even if they're horrible at their jobs/couldn't manage themselves out of a paper bag. Because of this, the organization is very bloated and the management structure slows down workflow.

Pros

Amazing perks: business travel perks are beyond stellar, health care great, 401 K matching high, in office perks include free snacks and coffee. Great people

Cons

Intense micro-management, lots of levels of bureaucracy, intense number of metrics tracked, Cool-Aid chugging contest highly associated with pay and perception.
