      Pros

      - Excellent finance training program - Amazing benefits - Advancement is based on merit, not time at company - Fun work environment - Job security

      Cons

      - Job security creates environment where employees do minimum to stay employed. Happens after being at the company for a number of years and reaching a desirable salary.

      Pros

      - Many people have commented that there is a lot of legacy code and outdated practices. This is true, however, since upper management within R&D has been shaken up, a large amount of investment is being made in infrastructure and dev practices. - The talent level (at least within my team) is absolutely top-notch. - Difficult and interesting problems. - If you don't like your team, you can move every 18 months. - Very flat hierarchy. - BDE software development methodology. - Amazing guest sparkers. - Increasing it's contributions to the open source world (see BDE on Github) - The compensation is good if you are seen as a top performer. - Great health care I'm very happy to work for a organization that cares as much about it's employees as Bloomberg. I think the company is on a positive trajectory, and the best is yet to come.

      Cons

      - There is a incredible amount of legacy code. Much is old fortran and C. - Steep learning curve. - You'll be capped at four weeks off. I'm not certain, but I think the whole company gets 4 weeks off. - The high talent level, means if you are looking to be a manager, it'll take a while.
