      I worked at Bloomberg L.P. full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Fast paced. Good opportunities to travel and they don’t skimp on the perks. Also good opportunities to learn about financial markets if you don’t come from a financial markets background.

      Cons

      Very flat structure. They also overload reps as there’s a mentality to say yes to everything and it’s perceived as weak to say you don’t have bandwidth. Also zero flexibility.

      Advice to Management

      There is a singular thought process because every one in senior management has worked at Bloomberg from their early 20s so there’s no diversity of thought. Shake up the leadership with some real world experience- especially as you try and transfer from a subscription model to a partner enterprise model.

      - Pantry - Nice office in central location

      Cons

      - Long hrs focusing on face-time - Extremely draconian micromanagement - think George Orwell Animal Farm - Politics, politics, politics - HR is a joke - Everything is metric driven therefore encourages short-term thinking - Unrealistic sales targets in oversaturated market set by management who do not have experience in markets they set targets for - If you don’t meet targets you will be put on performance...
