Pros

Mike Bloomberg is a visionary Top notch benefits and paid time off Exceptional focus on philanthropy if you want to participate Incredible headquarters building A truly disruptive technology that changed the way information is disseminated in the financial markets Team environment If you are selling at Bloomberg you will never have to work a weekend

Cons

Very limited opportunities to move up - management is mostly made up of entrenched "lifers" Unusual compensation structure for sales - if you are used to doubling your salary with your commission, you will probably take a pay cut. The flagship product has so saturated the market that the company now relies on growth through the selling of "ancillary" products. Some of those products are successful but if you are trying to sell one that isn't, it's an uphill climb. That said, there are lots of opportunities to move to other products within Bloomberg.

Pros

great pay. Bloomberg pays for top quality employees. The benefits are great. If your manager likes you, you have a lot of resources to accomplish your goal. And Bloomberg would spend lot of resources to accomplish its goals.

Cons

The computer engineers do not work that hard. If your manager does not like you, it is tough to get the resources to effectively finish your project. My primary manager was replaced due to my manager's performance issues. The new manager did not like the team so he was a little bit hostile.
