Pros

Generally surrounded by smart people who like to work hard, play hard, and solve problems as a team ... which makes for a good team-work and stimulating environment. Also, lately more supportive of healthy lifestyles, with ability to occasionally work from home. Various opportunities for further education available in-house.

Cons

Cutting back on benefits recently. Raises have gotten smaller too. Also lately, too much "fluff recognition" (instead of show me the money).

Pros

Great salary and vacation time. 12 week training program brings your coding up to speed. Good snacks and beverages. I got to move to NYC and be able to afford it.

Cons

Most technology is relatively old. A lot of work is maintenance of code written 10,15,20 years ago. Not much room for innovation especially when all projects are on extremely tight deadlines.

Pros

Pay is incredibly better than most places, so employees become very loyal to the company. Free food and interesting office environment. Great benefits and perks. Generous parachute package when they terminate you.

Cons

No communication between bloated departments and managers; too many layers of supervision. MIcro-management of time and roles keeps workers feeling oppressed. No recognition for extra effort. Total disconnect between annual review rating and compensation. No matter how hard you work, and no matter how well your annual review goes, compensation and bonus levels have already been decided in advance and seem totally unrelated to performance. Some of the most-clueless workers end up in charge. Talent does not equal growth. We were always told that "Bloomberg is a meritocracy" but many workers end up stuck in the same position for many years.
