Worked at Bloomberg from 1996 - 2000, it was a fast paced environment as well as a great place to learn technology as well as business.

Cons

The golden handcuffs of the time were your bonuses.

Pros

- Good take-home salary - Open door policy (no one has a room of his/her own) - all managers, team members are easy to approach - Out-of-the box solutions are encouraged and respected - Company does a yearly Summer Picnic (which is good fun if you have a family and kids) - The company has a lot of crebility in the financial circles so you get listened to - Recently made good progress on developing Career Paths (but its still very early) - Good philanthropy & community building efforts - Good training programs

Cons

- Although there is free food, a lot of it is junk - All new hires are treated as if they were fresh grads which is annoying for experienced professionals - Career path is still vague for more than 90% of the roles ... everyone usually ends up wanting to go into sales - Although the compensation is good, the increaments are really poor for certain groups, like data teams ... there is a clear divide between teams when it comes to increaments ... also there is no discussion about your increament, you either take it or shut up and take it - working hours are 10 hours a day - Employee Evaluations are archaic and sometimes dont even matter in your progress/compensation - Middle Managers are not very good, when it comes to distributing work loads, fighting for your compensations, etc ... although they deny it, there is a huge case of favorism with some managers
