Pros

good salary for new graduates

Cons

no career growth, every team working on 2 -3 functions, people's knowledge of finance is limited in small area, so it will be very hard to get job from other finance company like investment bank, hedge fund if you stay in Bloomberg for too long time. The tech Bloomberg use is very old, it's extremely difficult to find a job in high tech company if you stay in Bloomberg for more than 3 years.
