Pros

- Decent Frat culture - Good people and have meet close friends. Everyone at the bottom is in the same boat. - Get stepping stone into another career or world. - Look if you need a job. Accept it but ready to leave at soon you get that next call.

Cons

- Please have an exit plan if your going into any role at BBG - Horrible pay for any role in Princeton - Treat you like dog Sh5%T. - little to no growth - Mike and the boys at the top - if you are remotely ambitious about your career and future do not go! - the turnover is absolutely unreal. I have about 10 years of experience and worked for several funds. I developed a good network. Never before in my life have I seen the level of turnover here. Pretty much everyone leaves. - Management is all politics -they hire you with this fancy training and work but in reality they hire a monkey to do this work. YOU DO NOT NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE TO WORK IN GLOBAL DATA. - Pay is below average. If you think its decent ask any of your friends what they are making! - Management in global data has absolutely no idea what is going on. Huge political roadshow. - WORKING AT BBG CAN BRING YOU CAREER RISK AS WELL BECAUSE FINANCE IS A SMALL WORLD AND PEOPLE TALK. - They will come ready to backstab you if you don't do the thing you want. - Retirement options are garbage (trust me I worked at other companies). There are only about 5 investment options lol - You are working with a ton of type C people. - I know this is a lot but I would strongly that you reconsider your options please!

Pros

Excellent online training programs. (If only they practiced what they promoted/taught as a brand it would be an amazing place to work).

Cons

Toxic and misogynist culture and environment. They marginalize professionals rather than promote them.

Pros

Medical Benefits Lateral movement Free Food Good Working Environment Encourages collaboration

Cons

You can progress your role into manager and even higher but if you plan to have a career in finance or quantitative analytics, it might be a challenge or will take a long time. Your role can progress but your career will be stagnant and be stuck in customer service. Admin/Customer Service disguised as "Analyst" Job. Claim to be a tech company but relies heavily on Excel. If Microsoft takes out Excel, Bloomberg will shut down along with the world market that relies on Bloomberg data. Not a finance job but a financial product ambassador; people do modelling and financial analysis but it is just to make "clients" have ease of use and show more functionality for the terminal. Analyst/Analytics here is synonymous to knowing what the client/customer needs and not necessarily include any quantitative analysis. Might be less than 5% that quantitative analysis will be required for an Analyst job.
