Company Perks are great, management and HR is terrible

Pros

Company has amazing healthcare and 401k Perks. Currently all offices are offering food so you dont have to venture out due othe pandermic, which is great. Great perks are the only reason people stay here.

Cons

The management is anything but flexible, especially during this time. Mangement sends out emails saying that the ask to return to the office 3 days a week will be flexible and understanding of various scenarios but when you approach them asking for exceptions, there is no budging. I know several people with serious housing information who are still expected to show up to work under these circumstances. This pandemic has been a completley off putting situation which has made me realize how much the company really cares about its employees.

Save yourself and stay away!

Pros

The Bloomberg name will look decent on a resume but be aware it has no where near the cache it used to have.

Cons

Inferior middle management “Team Leaders” who have no experience outside of Bloomberg are typically in their first leadership role and are noticeably immature. Toxicity, lying, veiled threats and outright dishonesty are the commonplace norm at Bloomberg. The New York office in particular loses a frightening number of people who simply can’t handle the stress, toxicity and disloyalty displayed by the team leaders. There is truly no advantage to working at Bloomberg and you’re guaranteed to micro managed by fools who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, which is as surprising as it is true. There are numerous tests (!!!) you must take each year. Get used to hearing the word “culture” at least twice a day, every day....which is ironic as the ‘culture’ is literally destroying the company and has made anyone with brain cells looking to leave. Stay away.
