      Think three times about working here

      Pros

      Excellent pay and benefits. The free soda and snacks are nice and the annual summer party is a treat. You do get free admission and/or discounts to a lot of good places!

      Cons

      Noisy!! You not only write software, but you are expected to fully own all aspects of it. That means you configure it, deploy it, support it, etc. (24/7) You are expected to produce software very, very quickly, but are denegrated if it does not meet future (and unplanned) demand. Terrible management who have a strong tendency to micro-manage. A truly surprising amount of bureaucracy and politics. Only certain groups are expected to develop infrastructure, everyone else is supposed to just bang applications together. They do not use Boost!

      Pros

      Bloomberg has an open working environment. Hundreds of people seating together, your managers may seat right beside you. Free breakfast, free drinks and snacks. Beautiful fish tanks.

      Cons

      You are supposed to pick up emergency calls anytime from the company if a function you're maintaining isn't working properly. But there's no compensation for this. The salary is bad for fresh.

      Antipathetic and antagonistic place to work

      Junior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      FREE FOOD, interesting technology infrastructure, beautiful work settings, name brand recognition, you may get some basic career guidance, did I mention excellent free meals?

      Cons

      Its like watching an episode of The Office, except that its not entertaining and totally destructive to your personal creativity and lifestyle. One manager mentioned that he enjoyed providing an environment of "fear, intimidation and coercion." (seriously.)
