Pros

Their buildings are beautifully decorated Some really nice people who have been trained to be complacent Their philanthropy and volunteer events

Cons

The atmosphere is toxic. Every team is run differently. Some of the most incompetent leaders who could care less about their teams. Lifetime employees who are so arrogant and have no Perspective outside of Bloomberg. Many employees and leaders with decades there with no degrees and they devalue newer employees with experience and degrees. They have snacks just to deflect from the horrid work conditions.

Pros

The medical insurance is the best I've experienced in finance

Cons

Awful, incompetent management. No desire to improve research quality which is embarrassingly bad for many analysts in the department who can't even use excel at an intermediate level. Most of the role involves trying to write the latest click-bait headlines. Career prospects after working here are substantially reduced and most of us are too embarrassed to speak to our ex-colleagues.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Free snacks & coffee are appreciated but limited. Initial training is very well constructed.

Cons

Salary and bonus are very bad for the area. Almost no chance for promotions or raises. Ancient codebase doesn't fit in with a "modern" company. Everything is proprietary so there are 0 transferrable skills. Join for a good name on a resume, but leave before you get sucked in. Name recognition is the only good takeaway while working here.
