Pros

The company provides thorough training opportunities, but to be honest, they are only useful for non finance major students, very basic knowledge that every finance major would have known in college. The company claims they have great corporate culture, which may be true from some point of view. Colleagues can be supportive sometimes.

Cons

Low efficiency in work. This company has very mature and profitable business model, which should be a good thing. However, it also leads to low efficiency and lack of creative spirit (ironically, "creative" is one of the core corporate culture). You always receive warm welcome for your new ideas or proposals, but that's it, no more, just welcome, no followup, no execution. They prefer to do things in the old way. And many proposals and projects that do get into the execution phase are very pointless.

Pros

- Bloomberg really takes the time to train its staff well which makes it a good place straight out of university especially if your specialism was not finance. - There are some very smart individuals working there from whom you can learn a lot. - Standard 8-6 hours so you know when you will be out the door. - If you are in a team with good managers, then you do feel like something greater - a real family feel (I have experienced this first-hand) - Have never encountered sexism, can progress well as a woman. - Good pay/general benefits and working towards a better bonus structure from 2016 onwards.

Cons

- If you get placed in a team or are in a department with bad/incompetent/micro-managing/ nonsensical-metric-oriented managers then you will feel like another cog in the wheel and be very disheartened. - The standard hours are a little too long and inflexible (but the pros of this still stands). - Some over promising and under delivering with career progression, you are at the mercy of your manager or team leader.
