Pros

Nice Pantry, 50% 401k match, average pay, flexible hours for Data teams.

Cons

Benefits falling behind and Bloomberg is starting to take away their nice benefits. I feel like management is too young and inexperienced. Thus direction is poorly managed. If you go to data you make sure the left screen matches the right screen. Very manual and monotonous. I feel like you could go into tech if people like you. Seems like its not based off of skill. Bloomberg Intelligence is more financed based. But seems very stressful. I hear they are giving out packages to senior employees. Moral is very low. They are bringing in many new people but with moral low and experienced highers leaving. I believe that Global Data will take a massive hit in market share.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
