Pros

- Successful company, well oiled machine - If you are in a traveling team: nice hotels, good allowance, fun environment - Large range of products to sell to top companies which keeps things interesting - Good base salary ( but bonus is low and discretionary) which leads to more predictable earnings - Good work life balance: 8am to 6pm and you are done at 6pm most of the times

Cons

- A lot of employees stay there for 10+ years because it is a nice and comfortable job, but if you stay there too long it can be difficult to find another job later - You have to start your career at the Helpdesk, which many people don't enjoy - You have a quota of visits, which works well for the business but can lead to unnecessary/uninteresting meetings for sales reps - As with all very large companies, managers don't have much room to innovate - Micro management

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.
