Pros

1. Great company culture. Managers are very approachable. Values your career development within the company. Strong sense of teamwork. 2. Great benefits 3. Competitive salary 4. Structured training programme 5. Great work-life balance. Lots of paid leave.

Cons

These are all specific to customer support: - Although they emphasise that you have great opportunities to move to different departments, the reality is that only a few selected departments will be open to you. - Customer support is a very mundane and repetitive task. You feel like a robot doing the same simple tasks every day for 9 hours. - You have little ownership in your work, which is mainly handling 50+ small cases every day. You feel replaceable and leave no legacy. - You don't learn any hard skills in customer support that can be useful outside. I have been working here and not learned anything about finance. - Coverage based jobs such as customer support don't have any flexibility. Lunch strictly 60 minutes, no room for being even 5 minutes late to work. Meetings frequently cancelled due to coverage which is the greatest barrier to any potential for personal development or improvement for the overall department.

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.
