Pros
The benefits are outstanding as are the offices with elaborate aquariums and cool looking conference rooms. There is also free food, but watch for the Bloomberg 15!!
Cons
Unfortunately when you get into the actual substance of this company an that's your job, there is a lot left to be desired. There is absolutely no career path at this company. They have an internal job board which they have recently promoted and made a big deal of but it does not help if the hiring managers are all on different agendas. It is very difficult for an employee to come to the company and create a PATH because most of the hiring managers are not looking to build and develop skills in employees. They instead want outside experience for intermediate type roles to better build products. They want to take knowledge instead of invest skills back into their own people. What that leaves younger employees with is a career that includes jumps around to numerous entry-level type positions or a career in sales. Those that recognize this are still left stuck as the skills they develop at Bloomberg don't necessarily translate to marketable skills in finance (learning how to input a DRQS is not marketable). My advice - if you are at all ambitious and want to develop a consistent career path, do not come to this company. Run, don't walk to that other opportunity if you can help it.
