Pros

Nice office, smart people, many snacks. Exciting on paper, before you get a job here.

Cons

Micromanagement, old style structure, slowness in adapting to market changes. Everyone is treated as a high school student - politics, no true meritocracy. Some people play with the metrics as this is a metric based company - you can learn the rules and play the game accordingly. Most of the managers are BBG born and raised people, no experience in the market or whatsoever so forget about speaking to people who know how the markets work outside from BBG 3 billion building. Everyone sees what you do daily. Analytics is a simply call centre, you are stuck on tickets for hours and hours every day, you cannot even go to the bathroom or get a break. This company is cool on LinkedIn only basically, in the nice posts talking about a reality of employees’ empowerment which internally DOES NOT exist. Ah, experienced hired, please avoid this place, once you go through the reality check you will realise how much your previous company was healthy.

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.
