Same culture as a junior high school

Global data analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, amazing benefits, free food

Cons

No training, no documentation for the tools, ridiculous micromanagement by low-level managers who have no idea how to manage, don't ever be a whistle-blower on bad behavior, or you will be put on the road to disciplinary action, constant backstabbing by coworkers. Basically like working in a junior high school. Mostly 20 year olds who don't know that the culture is completely toxic. Ridiculous arbitrary metrics that have no validity for measurement of performance.

Horrible Working Environment - Terrible Management

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

$ - The money is good. The benefits are excellent. The perks are wonderful. The bonuses are large. The regular employees are awesome, and fun to work with.

Cons

Management is ineffective at best, and incompetent at worst. The entire company is very much a cult of personality. There is a massive "not invented here" complex. Managers that have risen through the ranks over the last few decades are very stodgy and outdated in their ideas about business and development best practices. I got negative performance reviews for mentoring others as the most senior developer on the team. Management did not understand the problem space at all - web development - and this made it very difficult to have non-stressful conversations with them. Some teams at Bloomberg are better than others, mine was generally recognized as the worst. The entire team went to senior management with complaints about the problems with out direct manager, but nothing was ever done.
