Pros

The best thing and most grateful is to start within a class of 20+ people and together go through the same bad experience. Becoming stronger together and helping each other every day

Cons

Worst Micromanagement , NOTHING is like they describe or sell the job like. There is a reason why every month a new class is starting - because after couple months people quit. it’s like a call center , a help center , every step and breathe you take is monitored on statistics. How often you leave your desk How often you take a break How often you run to the toilet How many tickets you solve within a day How many calls you make Nothing to do with the financial markets, your job is to help the clients how to use Bloomberg so they can trade properly .. meaning - they will come to you when their chat is glitching, where to find specific things, how to put data in excel etc pp. You will become a Bloomberg product yourself by that time. You’re so much under time pressure to solve as many client tickets as possible because the whole world is using Bloomberg to trade and everyone has questions on how to set up an alert or change the language etc. If you’re longer than a year there, 90% of the people start to accept their miserable life and get sucked into just answering questions day to day and get paid for it. If you’re not ambitious and don’t have big goals , don’t want to get into finance / banking then you probably will enjoy it.

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.
