      Ok First Job, Very unsatisfying job in all aspects

      Pros

      When free food is the bigger pro you can think of, there isn't much to like about. Benefits are good too I guess. And since they hire a lot of fresh-out-of-college grads, it can be a good starting place.

      Cons

      The work is very unsatisfying on all levels. New technologies are seldom used, a lot of work pressure and lot of workload, HR doesn't care two hoots about you in any aspect, boring and tedius work, very closed environment, very hierarchical and very bureaucratic, very few career growth prospects, very narrow learning environment as teams are not encouraged to learn from each other and/or collaborate.

      Nice start, big disappointment

      Pros

      Health Insurance, Nice Office, Good People. I met some great people at Bloomberg and their health insurance and other benefits are without a doubt the best you can get. At first it appears like a meritocracy that values creative thinking and good work. There is some mobility within the firm and if you are pushy enough and talk to the right people you can try new things. Their philanthropic efforts are really great and you have a lot of opportunity to participate, which the company will generously match.

      Cons

      Big Brother Culture, Ridiculous Metrics, Horrible Middle-Management, Inability to Admit Defeat. Sadly, soon enough you realize that Bloomberg is just another imagination-deprived big company where the mediocre sucker uppers thrive and creative thinking or criticism is not valued at all.There is just as much corporate BS and ridiculous self-serving mismanagement as any big company they try so hard not to be. If you want to do well, never say what you mean and never mean what you say. I think their supreme success with the terminal gives the company the mistaken impression that they will be successful at anything just because they say so. It'll be interesting to see where it all goes.

      Pros

      The pay is decent and the health plan is excellent.

      Cons

      The way they treat employees is abhorrent. Abusive manager. Once heard it described like a dysfunctional family. Dad comes home and hits mom, mom turns around and beats the kids. That about sums it up.
