Pros

They lure you in with the salary - but dont be fooled, that soon flat lines and you'd make more being successful at a more dynamic company that treats employees like responsible adults, not untrustworthy children.

Cons

Think EXTREMELY carefully before starting work at Bloomberg. The culture is horrendous and stifles all creativity and motivation out of the employees - unless you want to become a demoralised robot incredibly quickly - continue your job search. Extremely flat hierarchy with limited progression options and employees are micromanaged to the absolute extreme. Such a shame given the great work Mike Bloomberg does outside of Bloomberg LP.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
