Amazing company curtailed by poor lower management (Global Data)

Global data analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company places significant value on those who bring significant value...if you are allowed to do so by your manager. Skills such as VBA, Python, and resiliency are treasured within Bloomberg's Global Data division. You are exposed to every level of investor from back office analyst to CEO. It looks great on a resume.

Cons

Global Data in particular needs to be completely gutted of the awful talent that is leading it on almost every level. The organization chart has become a mess, and people who should be leading departments are suppressed by awful managers who are in their positions because of how long they have been there and who they have befriended. This goes for many, many Team Leaders too. Your experience at Bloomberg will be significantly impacted based on who your initial Team Leader is.

Avoid this company at all costs.

Business Outlook

Pros

*good experience for entry level journalists

Cons

*top-down, infantilizing style of management is condoned *no checks and balances on team leaders. You could have had great reviews for years, and great relationships with all your bosses, but one manager who takes a dislike to you can easily end your Bloomberg career *bullying, bogus Performance Improvement Plans, and other forms of intimidation regularly used in place of layoffs to downsize teams *toxic, unhealthy atmosphere

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, pays good, and nice perks.

Cons

Uneducated, poor management. There’s a reason they hire 20+ every couple of months to keep up with the number of people quitting. Managers can range from ex cinema vendors to no college degree whilst being 22 years old due to excellent brown nosing. Join if you are willing to sell your dignity. Feedback is one sided. Group of old friends that are managers who will achieve what they want even if it includes forcing you out of the company due to them disliking you. Absolute micromanagement and no career progression whatsoever. You will be stuck in this loop of jobs if you enter unless you have prior experience.
