Pros

Fast-paced work, nice offices with free food and interesting coworkers. You are never bored working at Bloomberg. Benefits are excellent, including maternity leave.

Cons

10-hour days. If you have a family, you won’t be seeing them much. Very macho culture. They operate so fast they don’t give much room to think strategically. So you feel like you’re on a treadmill. Particularly difficult place for women, who are far outnumbered by men. They give you a great maternity leave but your manager judges you for taking it. Depending on the department you won’t see any women in authority, which is extremely discouraging.

Pros

Free Food. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is covered. Good Benefits.

Cons

Work is repetitive. Data entry all day. No transferable skills. Flat Structure. No Room for growth. There are people there that have been in the same position for 20 years. Add that along with the sheer Nepotism that goes on in this place. it's a old boys club in the Skillman office. The dusty old men there will literately stop you in the hallway/bathroom/cafeteria just to make you suck up to them. It's worst than high school if you are not down with the clique. If you have any drive or self worth this not the place for you. The petty politics and repression will crush you if you allow it. You will be exploited until you get fed up and just quit. I honestly believe that is embedded into the culture in the Skillman office and Management wants it that way.
