Pros
I'm a senior software engineer at bloomberg and this review is my own + what I have heard from my colleagues and friends in other teams within this company. * Good compensation (only if you work 8 hrs a day which won't be the case.. normal working hours are 12 to 14 here) * Smart and intelligent people * 4 week paid vacation + medical benefit + free food
Cons
* You will be at your desk almost all the time.. normally ppl come at 9 and don't leave before 7. This is normal working day.. on special occasions you may have to stay even more and need to work on weekends. * They track every minute you spend in office .. we have something called PN notes and other tools to track time. You can't bill more then a day on a ticket.. if you do.. your manager yells at you. * There are no separate cubical so everybody can see everybody else.. and environment is little noisy so becomes hard to concentrate. * Managers are rude, don't respect team members.. good work won't get appreciation ever.. (and this is a culture.. this is not about specific manager). * Top management have completely failed in managing software capital.. lot of code duplications.. software pieces are scattered here and there and there is no track of it.. often you will be writing a module from scratch even though its available somewhere else. * interview process is tiresome.. they take 5-6 interviews and keep you on contracting for 1 month and that 1 month is a complete torture and then after their might be additional interview before the offer is extended !!!! TOO MUCH !!!
