Do not work there unless you have no other choice

Client support

Business Outlook

Pros

Not bad as first job, especially if you dont know what else is avilable. Also good if Bloomberg name appears on CV. Others mention free food, but in London office they dont even have place to eat for employees: you are supposed to eat at your desk or eat out all the time. My salary at Bloomberg would not allow me to do much of the latter. It is good palce for someone who like to work non-stop, prefferably without breaks, who can give 110% for the business and leave -10% for yourself and personal life. It is not me for sure.

Cons

long hours, too much pressure for the money you get; "pushing" all the time from the management; unbearable

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, good work-life balance. Regular office parties, lots of free booze :). Firm seems to spend money like crazy, at the slightest excuse. Pity that they dont cut down on unncessary parties and so on, and increase employee pay a bit more. Work culture is good, and mostly your superiors are really open and accessible to you, no matter how low down the rung you are.

Cons

Difficult to grow as its such a huge organization. Not much learning happens, unless you spend a lot of time at the firm and proactively try to learn stuff. Job as such wont teach you much. Sad to say this, but the image of this company is overhyped outside. Most of the time you are actually doing backend, boring and monotomous jobs (with the possible exception of some of the sales guys).
