Pros
Bloomberg is the beating heart of the financial markets, as a salesperson you have 350k prospects in your CRM who are one chat (IB) away. It’s an inspirational place in some respects, they take care of employees, like with travel insurance, paternity, office catering. Nice offices too, in most major cities and global hubs NY, LDN, Singapore
Cons
If you are in products sales, the terminal always wins. It’s generally seen as a turn key solution rather than something that is core to an institution’s workflows. Sales=many meetings high degree of effort = low return on time, it’s a not an all round product, there is many gaps. The terminal cost already creates a perception of: we already pay the people too much. Some of management team have no idea of product direction, lack of skills or experience. They don’t invest or have any foresight, wait for sales to sell dreams and then act like you are pushing them off the couch
