Pros

Stable company. No other pros but i had to write something else to meet the requirements

Cons

Not a place where you can bring your authentic self to work. Culture is flat out awful, I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. The org is flat (no mobility), creativity is not allowed. Only “the bloomberg way” is permitted. If you are a person who seeks a true collobarative and inclusive environment keep looking, and if your the type who wants your lunches clocked, emails monitored and timed for every single thing then this is the place for you. Lastly, their stance on flexibility with COVID is laughable at best. They are pressuring employees to return the office meanwhile competitors and others are embracing work from home structures to retain their population.

Pros

- great benefits -hours are reasonable - the younger employees are highly motivated and intelligent

Cons

If you have any ability to get a front/middle office role at another firm pursue that. This job is dressed to try and compete with those sorts of jobs but is ultimately just a customer service help desk with very little else to offer (outside of going to sales). - management is made up of people who have been consistently mediocre and reached their position by simply sticking around - top talent is treated poorly and overworked compared to the average - micromanaged to the nth degree - every aspect of the job is measured statistically - management has so much as said that the system is designed for someone to be unable to excel in all aspects of the role. As such compensation is determined by how much your manager likes you instead of your productivity and ability - popularity contest where you are forced to "play the game" with mostly mediocre managers in order to get ahead

Pros

Fast paced, beautiful office spaces

Cons

Bloomberg has changed. The culture was a community, and now it's cut-throat. Longer termed employees are being marginalized and pushed out. Teenagers are being put in charge of experienced employees. Bloomberg is out of runway. It's a job, not a career. It's not the company it was.
