Pros

The free lunch and the vacation/sick time is really all i can say positively.

Cons

Horrible management. The work so incredibly mundane, a college degree is not necessary to do the work required. Its a data monkey role and there is absolutely no room for vertical advancement.

Very nice, but boring

Pros

Bloomberg really takes care of its employees. The management is painfully nice and polite, and the pay is very generous for the work they have us do.

Cons

The biggest challenge for me was that the work was just so boring. The technologies used are ancient, and honestly, I hate the terminal. I did not appreciate having to use the terminal to get even the most simple tasks done. There's a culture of building everything in-house, and this is NOT a good thing. There are fantastic databases and email clients out there, but Bloomberg employees are instead stuck using some guy's afterthought side project instead of those functional outside products. It's a serious drain on productivity. Also, the process to move code to beta and production is extremely draconian and micro-managed. In any other company, I could accomplish in two weeks what it took me two months to do at Bloomberg. If you envision yourself having a "cushy" job and being a "lifer" and loving that lifestyle, you'll love Bloomberg. If you feel even a modicum of passion for your work (as a developer), you might want to think twice.

Great place to work if you don't need flexibility

Pros

Excellent benefits, lots of opportunities for advancement if you put in the hours and get results. People who work here are very smart, driven and competitive.

Cons

Not flexible for working parents. Great right out of school but fewer opportunities for mid-career advancement. Few women in management roles and few women promoted or encouraged to seek leadership positions.
