      Buzzing work environment, really smart people and varied work.

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bloomberg isn't really a finance company - it's a technology company whose primary clients happen to be in the financial sector. As such it is the equivalent of Google or Facebook in its world. For the software developer, it offers a chance to work on a large scale, distributed system used by 300,000+ premium clients to help them make decisions within the financial markets. This means solving problems of scalability and robustness on a scale which relatively few other companies other than the ones already mentioned may have to deal with. The work environment is friendly and open, and the company is constantly working to refresh its technologies in order to advance its products.

      Cons

      Bloomberg has vast amounts of code in its system -- and some of it is really old (Fortran 77 from the eighties or nineties). Having to work with or around some of this code may put off some developers.

      Open, Fast, & Innovative Company with EXCELLENT Benefits

      Global data analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bloomberg has a young, fast-paced culture that welcomes fresh college grads and constantly looks for ways to innovate, improve their products, or access new markets. The benefits are great including everything from free food (all day, every day) to 401(k) employer matches up to 15% of your annual salary, fully-sponsered and reimbursed MBA programs and CFA programs, and 4 weeks paid vacation from the first day you start. There is also an extensive 3-month training program for new hires so onboarding is very smooth and easy. No need to worry about being thrown into something that you have no idea how to do.

      Cons

      A significant amount of time is spent on doing the same task over and over again. It limits the time you can actually work on meaningful or challenging products and can become boring and mundane. The majority of roles in the company are centered on data ENTRY rather than data ANALYSIS as they lead you to believe. There are many brilliant people in this company with advanced degrees and designations such as MBAs and CFAs, yet they still do the same mundane tasks as others just starting at the company....ENTERING data....a task that could be completed by someone with a high school diploma. Nonetheless, the pay does consistently increase as you stay with the firm and there is significant opportunity to advance to managerial roles within your first 4-7 years with the firm.
