RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Bloomberg L.P. full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
* Great Benefits - Health insurance and the perks of being a private company * Amazing internal operational support when it comes to making sure you have everything you need to work. * Great way to understand the capital markets * You make your own success - Up to you to lead a campaign and make something out of it. * Amazing access to companies - i.e. the Bloomberg Brand * Great place to understand finance but not to build a career
Cons
* Lack of management development ultimately leading to high turnover in sales * Management are bred inhouse which means that they come from the old school terminal selling background and are new to enterprise selling. * This is a top down company not the other way round meaning you are just a number and even if you have a track record you are always anxious of the consequences that you have done something wrong. * You can only progress career wise if you are in a big office * Starting their flexible working journey but still very rigid... The boss has spend a $1bn for his new headquarter so hes gonna want people to be in the office. * Very metric driven including a lot of productivity stats - Everyone is fine as long as you are hitting target, if you don't then pressure is on you from manager and rather than supporting you they review your "stats" on a weekly basis - i.e. not helping mental health..

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Bloomberg L.P. full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Meet some really genuine people, pantry. Pay is decent enough with no real incentive to go extra mile. Performance review process can be doctored with zero transparecny in the process. Constant over internal emphasis on a culture that is preached but hardly practised which demoralises and fosters detachment.
Cons
No true training or development outside of product training for sales, they move you around laterally to different product teams like a chess piece however there is no real progression. Do not encourage but rather view professional certification or upskilling outside of Bloomberg products with suspicion. Internal barriers to complete deals or small sales are sometimes enormous. Management keep chiming about office being a meritocracy to justify a metric driven system for performance review however what really matters is how much you can BS your way to the top by "telling a story".

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI 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.
