Pros

Food is served during lunchtime.

Cons

There is no room for growth here. Politics at the workplace run the whole office. To get ahead, you have to have connections.

Pros

- Good compensations (salary, insurance, etc) - 20 paid off-days per year. - Easier to become a manager than most of other large tech companies

Cons

Really depends on the team. The following comments applies to most of the teams that I have heard of, but won't be true for everyone for sure. - Tech is really old and there are a lot of trivial work. It's hard to sharpen your tech skills. If you want to pursue a 'geek' career, that's not the place. - Bad work-life balance.

Pros

Bloomberg News is a place where you'll learn a lot, be challenged and work very hard. The company is all changing. There are a lot of talented journalists here, though many are misused. Resources, salary, benefits as good or better than nearly all other news organizations.

Cons

One of the unfriendliest, poorly managed places I've ever worked. Many middle and senior managers are poorly trained, with weak skills, even for the news business. Many are promoted more for their ability to dump on their subordinates and sheep-like adherence to the "Bloomberg Way." Managers are routinely rude, condescending and treat people poorly. Most people dislike working here but do it because of few other choices.
