Pros

Benefits. Some cool people work here. Smart, interesting colleagues. There's a 20 word minimum but I am struggling to get to it. It's a soul-destroying place to work.

Cons

Senior management is incompetent, uninspiring, egotistical. The senior managers exhibit a collection of mental and mood disorders to rival Bellevue's wards. Management is there to use Bloomberg as a stepping-stone to other jobs, or to save for retirement, so there is no planning for the future. The company's commitment to TV and digital is questionable. The HR people are shills, nothing more. I've never seen a more cowardly bunch.

Pros

Access to the top executives at public companies, working with top notch people, competitive salary

Cons

This isn't one of those work as a team, feel good companies. Employees are worked to exhaustion, under demanding and often unkind circumstances. After the employee is burned out they either leave to save themselves or management boots them out. Bloomberg has been called an electronic sweatshop. That is accurate. Favorites are well taken care of. Everyone else is expendable. Very strict writing style. Totally editor driven organization. Reporters have little say.
