Cons

No direct compensation for sales achievements Mediocre middle mangers Practices blatant favoritism along popularity lines Encourages retaliatory measures against those who don't conform to their image. Reluctance of other companies to hire long term Bloomberg employees Very flat organizational structure limits career growth. Animus towards older workforce.

Fast-Paced, In-Your-Face, No Privacy, Forward-Thinking Company

Pros

The company is quick-paced and has a start-up mentality. Bloomberg moves very quickly on business decisions. This company spends serious cash on making its offices and employees feel taken care of and is very green-conscious. Free snacks and continental breakfast are served daily.

Cons

There is no privacy anywhere in the office and working here is like working in an airport. The company's main product, the Bloomberg Terminal, has a horribly outdated user interface that predates Microsoft Windows conventions. However, this has also probably helped to secure it as THE official financial tool of the industry. Management is a bit old-fashioned. There is a big emphasis on being in the office between 9 to 5, and flexible work arrangements are undervalued. The company would rather give it's employees unlimited sick days than open up flexible work arrangements.

Pros

Ok Pay and benefits Pretty slack job

Cons

As an employer fairly fascits 1984 work environment. Global data is data input mixed with customer service - dont believe the rubbish they sell you at interview. Cannot accept that poeple could ever want to leave and dont give appropriate training that could be useful elsewhere.
