Pros

Competitive pay (although they're whittling it down fast), decent health care, 401(k), free snacks and coffee.

Cons

What little journalistic talent remains at Bloomberg News is no match for the mass of mediocrity that has risen up there. In the past five years, the standard of quality has gone from excruciatingly high to preposterously low. While political correctness and identity politics run rampant, gender discrimination is still quite prevalent, despite all the internal corporate propaganda stating otherwise. And nobody, man nor woman, should feel comfortable growing old there. Experience has become a liability as the company is clearly focused on lowering the average age (and salary) of non-management employees through attrition, targeted layoffs and firings. You shouldn’t consider Bloomberg News as a mid-career journalist. If you’re age 40 or older, don’t even bother applying. You probably won't even land an interview, let alone get hired. They have been actively recruiting minorities and LGBTQ people, though. So there might be some exceptions if you fit any of those categories. It does seem like a good fit for a kid just out of college looking to get some experience and then move on to something better. Sadly, it’s become that kind of place.
