Pros

Medical Benefits Lateral movement Free Food Good Working Environment Encourages collaboration

Cons

You can progress your role into manager and even higher but if you plan to have a career in finance or quantitative analytics, it might be a challenge or will take a long time. Your role can progress but your career will be stagnant and be stuck in customer service. Admin/Customer Service disguised as "Analyst" Job. Claim to be a tech company but relies heavily on Excel. If Microsoft takes out Excel, Bloomberg will shut down along with the world market that relies on Bloomberg data. Not a finance job but a financial product ambassador; people do modelling and financial analysis but it is just to make "clients" have ease of use and show more functionality for the terminal. Analyst/Analytics here is synonymous to knowing what the client/customer needs and not necessarily include any quantitative analysis. Might be less than 5% that quantitative analysis will be required for an Analyst job.

Pros

- Good name on the CV - Exposure to many different clients - Lot of time invested in training

Cons

- Lots of micromanagement to the point where you need to justify going to the toilet sometimes! - Glorified call centre - Many pointless company procedures which stifle any chance of innovation - Management and team leaders are too focused on quantitative measures which very often leads to poor customer service - Clueless management - Limited opportunities in the sense that you are forced to move to a team due to company requirements (with no consideration of what you want to do) - Forced to evaluate your own performance on a weekly and monthly basis - Many incompetent team leaders in analytics Overall, it is a good stepping stone to get in to another company. But if you join do not stay for too long as the leadership and micromanagement is unbearable.
