Pros

- pantry full of snacks - free breakfast - modern office -visa sponsorship

Cons

1) I would strongly not recommend this job to Finance graduates (especially Masters in Finance), as you will not be able to practice your skills, gain valuable and transferrable knowledge. This job can be done by any school graduate, you don't need to know anything about finance, financial markets and even terminal itself: they provide training about what is stock and bond and teach you how to use terminal in a couple of weeks. All skills that you develop is cold-calling (or annoying people with promoting minor terminal upgrades, like adding a new button to IB chat) and terminal knowledge. 2) Most managers are randomly appointed to their positions and lack financial/managerial or any relevant post-graduate education. You cannot learn anything from your manager. 3) low morale (as people after 6m-1y starts to look for new job and everyone understands it) 4) dull, stressful and repetitive nature of work: you either respond in Bloomberg help chat to repetitive questions from clients or do cold calling. This repeats every day. When I left Sales&Analytics and joined another role and new company, I realised that year I spent at Bloomberg was a waste of time and complete degradation of skills.

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.
