      Good name on resume

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fancy office Good benefits and perks (free admissions to many museums in NYC)

      Cons

      Work is too deadline driven, as a result quality suffers. No clear career path. You could work at the same position forever. Senior management are mostly long time employees who are old style and don't believe in new methodologies. In order to become team lead or manager, you have to conform to their style.

      Great Company, but pay is not the greatest

      Pros

      Bloomberg is a great firm to work for. The people are really helpful and friendly. It is not cuthroat and competitve like the rest of corporate america. You do learn a lot at Bloomberg and can move around in the company. The benefits are good; 401K (50% match), Excellent Medical,Dental and Vision, 20 vacation days, 3months paid maternity leave, 3 months paid medical leave, and unlimited free food & beverages(continental breakfast, chips,cookies, fruits and raw veggies,soup, etc) in the pantries.

      Cons

      Overall compensation is very poor. Hours are very long. In some departments, small chance of upward growth. Extremely low morale. Very toxic environment. Poor senior management. They do not listen to their employees' feedback. Hire people with great titles and past experience who contribute very little to the business. Get paid a ton but basically do nothing.

      Easy to join due to high staff turnover but don't stay

      Pros

      Start on £30k and it's an easy intro to finance. The office is nice and there are great networking opportunities if you get to know the right people in news or sales. If your career goal is to become a manager it's very quick to progress - some people get promotions within a month. Lots of different nationalities within the office too.

      Cons

      Management is known to be terrible (perhaps for reason above) so turnover rate within the company is very high. Anyone who is intelligent but does not wish to join management tends to leave within 1.5 - 2 years.Due to this the people in each team always have newbies who lack specialist knowledge. Also, the company is hugely bureaucratic which frustrates anyone with any intelligence or strong work ethic.
