Pros

Work life balance is good. The culture is that if you don't complain and just finish your tasks, and bear some rude behavior you can survive number of years.

Cons

There is a culture of retaliation. If you bring it up to the boss about discriminant rude behavior, they don't take any action. One manager even removed me from the meetings with that rude employee, and explained me that it is for my good. Rather than correcting the behavior they slowly demote you.

The Bloomberg Way

Business Outlook

Pros

+Good salary potential +Good reputation +Ability to interact with anyone within the financial industry from back office to C-Suites.

Cons

+Zero flexibilty +80s US-leadership style which can be very brutal if you do not follow the Bloomberg way. + There are basically 4 people in the company who get whatever they want and everybody does what they say. Then there is "Mike" who is seen as god. Any middle manager would jump of a cliff if they were asked to as if not they wouldnt be in their position. +Your own opinion doesn't matter. +HR is non existent. Even if HR is involved the decision making is always done by sales.

Pros

Nothing to say so not gonna say anything.

Cons

- Management games and politics: managers only promote their friends and allies; - Appraisal system unclear and random: no clear-cut metrics to guide staff; - Long hours and no work-life balance: employees expected to check the 'berg for messages and respond ASAP even if they're not on company devices; - Company doesn't respect privacy: can trace how many times staff take bathroom breaks, when they clock in/out, length of lunch breaks etc.
