Bloomberg Technical Support Engineer reviews

-Terminal sales dead last two years and bonuses & raises are below inflation. -Management more interested in hiring from outside rather than promoting from within -Any promotions are usually political, if you are friendly with Bloomberg or the COO. -Metrics flawed, judging talent on SDSK (ticket system) updates alone creates people who are good at updating their tickets - no one rewarded for going "above & beyond". -Lots of senior employees get transferred to an undesirable department (usually entry level like GTEC or GCUS) to get the senior employees to quit rather than fire them. -Newer employees (3 years experience) often chosen for management roles over senior employees (7-15 years). It seems like once the new guys get more chances than the established veterans. -It is very hard to advance in the company management unless someone likes you. The same people in middle management get rotated around to new roles and its hard to break in.
