Pros

The pay is decent and the health plan is excellent.

Cons

The way they treat employees is abhorrent. Abusive manager. Once heard it described like a dysfunctional family. Dad comes home and hits mom, mom turns around and beats the kids. That about sums it up.

It all depends on the manager and the particular team!

Pros

Bloomberg is a great company if your manager is supportive and you like working in a communal environment.

Cons

Lower management has a lot of power and autonomy at Bloomberg and if for whatever reason (personal, racial, or maybe your higher level of education than theirs, etc.) they are not supportive of you, they can make a lot of unfair decisions regarding your pay and green card application. Most people have bachelor's or master's degrees at Bloomberg and sometimes older employees view newer people with higher degrees as threats to their careers due to its flat structure. So, I actually don't recommend Bloomberg if you have a higher education degree.

Pros

You can learn how to use the Bloomberg terminal.

Cons

They want to be like bankers in the city, but it is completely different. The job is so boring, I will never suggest to work there. As they do not have real competitors, they can allow to hire people without any skill (to some of them I had to teach how to merge two cells in excel!).
