Pros
- work life balance. Almost everyone is gone by 630pm in HK/SG. - breakfast (bread, occasional fried food, eggs, fruits) - Well stocked pantry - excellent welfare (great insurance policy, wellness claims, occasional event food/snacks) - great colleagues (after all they are in the same boat as you in analytics but not so much nice people in sales) - higher than average pay for fresh graduates. - market hire? Don’t think about going to sales then, you are stuck in analytics forever. - working in AU/HK (0.5-2 years) has the fastest career progression, SG/JP slowest (~2 years to sales)
Cons
- no relocation and rental package - micromanagement on point, they ensure you have deliverables for every hour of work - good luck going to toilet/pantry break (how long did you went off-help desk when you are scheduled to be on). Yes, everything is recorded and reflected in your statistics, which will then be recorded in your statistics. - not all seniors/upper managers are nice/understanding. They expect you to know your stuff and attend to as many help desk queries as possible. - high stress during help desk hours. Imagine serving 3 demanding and impatient clients at one time. - moral is low. This job is not suitable for everyone. Not much transferable knowledge/skills. Hard to jump elsewhere. - if you are a fresh graduate, this place is not recommended. Come here only when you really decided to stay throughout as this could be your last job since it is hard to jump elsewhere but you will be able to climb and transfer within the company. - pay increment is peanuts unless you’re at the top 10-20% - everyone is benchmarked against Asia and eventually global performance to determine your performance - This accurately describes your job - search for "What is it like to work at sales and analytics at Bloomberg" on Quora and you will understand more about it. - please don’t ask any current employees on life here, they will give you political correct answers.
