-No work/life balance
-Totally incompetent managers who have never done the job that the team they are ''managing'' does.
-Managers do nothing. My manager attended Bloomberg University courses (which tend to be classes that promote self image, and horoscope styled ''personality'' courses) and little else. No help or input was ever heard from her, only criticisms which were unwarranted-due to the fact that she didn't understand anything about the department and never worked in it prior to becoming a manager. How did this happen you may ask? It happened because higher management also has no clue and do nothing.
-Extremely understaffed department. Team of 10 people handed 60,000 inquiries in my last month.
-Compensation in laughable.
-Bloomberg is 'big brother' personified. Tabs are kept on every single move you make.
-The level of Micromanagement is absurd. I felt I was treated more like a toddler than an adult.
-Hypocritical managers: I was reprimanded for being late by two minutes once, while my manager wouldn't scold others who walked in 30 minutes late every day.
-Culture of fear. Managers live to intimidate their team members.
-Every single thing you do at Bloomberg must be recorded in their internal ticketing system. If your manager didn't like the way you record something, you will be threatened with termination.
-Open seating floor plans are usually a good idea, however at Bloomberg this means you get 2 square feet of your own space before you bump into your neighbor. If one person on your floor is sick, everyone will be sick within 3 days. Absolutely no privacy.
-Culture of Brainwashing. People who have been at Bloomberg for over 2 years can not form a sentence in or out of work without saying ''Bloomberg'' at least once.
-Bloomberg pretends that there is good career advancement, but in reality, all roles are glorified call center type roles. Pay increases for employees are less than inflation rates.
-Since the pantry offers free (junk) food, the management believes they own you outright.
-Bloomberg stunts professional growth as employees never see outside business practices and are trapped in a Bloomberg bubble.
- Plus hundreds more.
