      Where promising careers go to die

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High pay, good benefits, free food. Everything moves at a fast pace

      Cons

      Management does not value its technologists. The company has no interest in being a technology company, you will feel like you are working at a bank. Everything is proprietary, no interest in open standards or open source.

      Proprietary software, high school type work environment

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice benefits and higher than average pay. Free snacks and drinks and various training programs. Larger than normal bonus packages.

      Cons

      The atmosphere at Bloomberg is very "high schoolish." A lot of insecure people trying to justify their job when it could be very easily eliminated. Tons of bloat and bureaucracy. Not a place where you want to work if you want to work in a typical software development environment. If you like to re-invent the wheel or work on Fortran, this place is for you. If you want to gain real skills to help you grow technically - look elsewhere.

      It feels like a sweatshop.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fifty percent match on 401k benefit. Fully paid medical insurance. Free snacks in the pantry area. Access to financial data.

      Cons

      Trading floor style desks. No privacy or cubicles. Micro managed time down to the second. Not enough restrooms for employees. (3 stalls per floor of aproximately 300 employees) Employees are treated as a number and not as an individual. Favoritism - different rules apply to different departments, and different people within a department. Morale is at an all time low.
