Bloomberg reviews

I worked here for many years, and wanted this to be the company I'd really turn into my lifetime career. The office is amazing with their free snacks and tons of perks, but after a while you realize its all there because everything else associated with working there is LITERALLY miserable. They give you great vacation time (4 weeks to start), but trust me you will need every single day of those 4 weeks just to avoid ending up in a padded room in a mental institution. I made some amazing friends here, but there are SO many people who are honestly clueless about how to manage people and/or how to interact with clients. For every action taken there are 52 internal meetings and 15 procedures that are old and do not work. You will spend half of your energy fighting internal battles just to get a YES or NO answer. Unless you literally want to use this as a "stepping stone", are looking for something to beef up your resume for a year, or if you have no interpersonal skills and can't find any other job - then stay away.

- Their product is bad - On the inside, their system is orders of magnitute worse than their mediocre product - They're overly political. For example, they set deadlines for major projects to be the department head's birthday. New features are decided at the whim of upper management, not because they would improve the product or have a chance at succeding. - All the good engineers leave as soon as they realize what shithole they've trapped themselves in. You have to work with college gradas who don't know any better and those too lazy and too scared to leave.
