Pros

The Bloomberg name will look decent on a resume but be aware it has no where near the cache it used to have.

Cons

Inferior middle management “Team Leaders” who have no experience outside of Bloomberg are typically in their first leadership role and are noticeably immature. Toxicity, lying, veiled threats and outright dishonesty are the commonplace norm at Bloomberg. The New York office in particular loses a frightening number of people who simply can’t handle the stress, toxicity and disloyalty displayed by the team leaders. There is truly no advantage to working at Bloomberg and you’re guaranteed to micro managed by fools who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, which is as surprising as it is true. There are numerous tests (!!!) you must take each year. Get used to hearing the word “culture” at least twice a day, every day....which is ironic as the ‘culture’ is literally destroying the company and has made anyone with brain cells looking to leave. Stay away.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
