Pros

Nice pantry, free food; Great place to meet young talents from all over the world; Salaries and benefits are good as a graduate role; Quick and supportive visa sponsorship for those who really want to stay in the UK

Cons

*I have read all the stories in the reviews of Analytics, and sadly every single incident mentioned is true. I recommend all the candidates read the piece of review titled "Analytics- the joke of jokes". That's a good example-think carefully before you decide to join. Too much politics; You get bullied until 1) you quit 2) you grow into the same kind of devils and then bully others; The micromanagement there is insane: 1) you get asked 20 questions of what exactly your sickness is if you feel sick and want to leave work at 5.30pm which is only 30 mins earlier. Of course after all that battling you will finally get some empathy at 5.45 and go home! 2) careful with everything you write down in the chatting system and emails- they are watching. 3) let along they watch when exactly you enter and leave the office, how many minutes you have left your desk, and whenever whoever wherever of everything!

Pros

Opportunities to do lots of work with data and finance to apply knowledge in both programming and Subject-Matter Expertise (SME). Excellent Work-Life Balance (WLB) and extremely welcoming culture. You can reach out to anyone for help or just to talk, and they will get back to you (although management does require more scheduling in advance). Generous compensation (good wage) and benefits, including housing for interns. If you heard the rumors that the Bloomberg Princeton office has a great Bloomberg Pantry (read: company-provided breakfast and lunch), the rumors are true.

Cons

Not the place for those looking for cutting-edge AI. The company is not as fast with AI as the company prioritizes reliability and accuracy above all, and much of AI is not at an acceptable threshold for management to be willing to take that risk with financial data (at least in 2026). You may get a project to automate menial processes, which is really cool, but that tends to involve actually doing the menial processes, which feels unproductive. Princeton office is good but New York is considered preferable. Coworkers are not very reachable outside of work hours. Compensation is low in Data compared to Software Engineers.
