      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Benefits (Insurance, Free Lunch) Good Hours (Ability to start within a given time range and leave withing a given time range)

      Cons

      Lack of Career Growth Monotonous work Constantly changing technology that are never used. Spend weeks working to implement new technology and structure only for the structure to change when the work is completed. Changing technologies are almost impossible as some systems are decades old and have dependencies that seem like they will never be changed Projects are given without scoping out possibilities and dependencies. Decisions are made from the top level without an understanding of what is actually possible. Made based on what management think will work Very little communication between Data and R&D side both which have completely different understanding of systems and time allocated. Makes joint projects very difficult especially when Data pushes one thing which R&D says is impossible

      Non intellectually challenging Job

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is good and you finish at 6pm. Even though when you are young and energetic you might want to finish later to kick start your career

      Cons

      The job is horrible, everything you do is followed and monitored, you are a smart graduate with a critical mind and you end up being on a call center helping impolite people. This job could be done by a Robot. The worse part is that you are constantly timed and must not exceed 10 minutes per request

      Awesome Pay, Benefits, Management, Technically Behind the Times

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are top notch. If you go above and beyond, you will be recognized with huge bonus and huge base pay increase. Full family insurance paid with no employee contribution and a medical doctor in the building you can see for free. Incredible yearly party where a whole island is rented out with amusement park rides and free food -- great for family. Company really does good for society -- e.g. if you volunteer 40 hours, there is a "dollars for your hours" program that can donate $5000 to that charity.

      Cons

      Technically, seems sort of behind. Half the code base is Fortran. Bizarre restrictions on things like Boost. Low level C++ libraries are high quality, but higher level code is a mess. In many teams, you might spend hours each week just trying to get your code to link because all the libraries are changing underneath you all the time. The databases and GUI are bizarre proprietary stuff that are a pain to use and these skills are useless outside of Bloomberg. The email and proprietary issue tracking systems are terrible, with basic things like word wrapping not working reliably. If you like finance and high salary, you might look past these shortcomings.
