Pros

Good place for recent graduates to build knowledge. Bloomberg Philanthropies does great work with the profits.

Cons

Management and Team Leaders are incredibly inconsistent. Prevalent management style is negative reinforcement. Flexibility is very inconsistent as well. Most employees seem miserable, which can make for a very long day in the office.

Company needs to rethink their rehire policy

Pros

I worked at Bloomberg for over 14 years. It was a great place to grow in my career in move up in the ranks. Their compensation and bonus package are unbeatable.

Cons

The company needs to rethink their rehire policy. I didn't leave the company because I wanted to or to go work for the competition. The reason I left, is because Bloomberg decided to shut down my division. I was also a highly rated employee. Nevertheless, I was told that I couldn't be rehired by the company. I'm not sure if the no rehire policy is still implemented, but I know Bloomberg has lost out on a number of dedicated employees because of it. Compared to other organizations, the company's review process is also extensive. Not only do you have to submit an extensive self-evaluation, but your manager has to do so as well.

Pros

Exceptional but very dated product Great benefits

Cons

Very weak middle management led mainly by people who flourished while Bloomberg was flying off the shelves in the 80's/90's. Very little innovation happening. Money is being spent on business losers (news media) instead of continuing to deliver the very best core terminal.
