Pros

* Fantastic pay and benefits * Great internal technical training * Projects are generally very interesting, you can see the direct consumer impact * Summer picnic is fun with free drinks, food, and some rides and activities for families * Depending on the team, flexible temporary work from home options for any issues at home, such as childcare

Cons

* Based in extremely high cost of living * Very politically active company - get emails and other messaging from management about their political activism, especially after 2016 * Partially due to being in NYC, and partially from political openness from management, the office can feel very progressive-leaning and make more moderate and conservative leaning people feel uncomfortable * Middle management sometimes disorganized from stuffing too many projects into sprints and quarterly planning, causing breakdowns in future sprint and quarterly planning meetings * The "Bloomberg Development Environment" (BDE) and other Bloomberg-specific toolchains and technologies mean many of your skills are less portable to new companies if looking to move companies

Pros

Great benefits, high base salary, AI group has brilliant people.

Cons

If you're on an older team with legacy code in production, you are buried by KTLO. Anywhere from 20-50% of your time is spent maintaining code where nobody on your team knows how it works.
