Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people, international colleagues, enough funding for reporting trips and congresses, nice office, good chances for advancement. Salaries good compared to other media. Very open to change, new policies or technologies are instituted very quickly. Young tea.

Cons

Very demanding atmosphere, output metrics seem to be arbitrary, top down management of stories. Strict editing. The Bloomberg Way is close to a cult book. Can be a bit inflexible. Focus on moving stock prices, not story quality.

Business Outlook

Pros

No titles so everyone is accessible. Everyone has the same 4 feet of desk space, 2--4-6 monitors, 3 drawers all in an open environment. You could be sitting next to a Pulitzer prize winning recipient, a genius and an average joe. The pantries are awesome, office ambiance is great. Lots of internal opportunities.

Cons

some non technical depts can develop silos. Can be big brotherish.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic learning opportunities/extensive training. You'll meet a lot of great people.

Cons

You won't make a lot of money, even when you bring in revenue. There's an arrogance from the top, that the lowly sales person doesn't make it happen that the brilliant product sells itself and you're fortunate to be there, so they judge you on petty metrics that don't translate to revenue. There's an enormous lack of trust, you're treated like a child. Big brother looms. It's reminiscent of 1984.
