Pros
Health Insurance, Nice Office, Good People. I met some great people at Bloomberg and their health insurance and other benefits are without a doubt the best you can get. At first it appears like a meritocracy that values creative thinking and good work. There is some mobility within the firm and if you are pushy enough and talk to the right people you can try new things. Their philanthropic efforts are really great and you have a lot of opportunity to participate, which the company will generously match.
Cons
Big Brother Culture, Ridiculous Metrics, Horrible Middle-Management, Inability to Admit Defeat. Sadly, soon enough you realize that Bloomberg is just another imagination-deprived big company where the mediocre sucker uppers thrive and creative thinking or criticism is not valued at all.There is just as much corporate BS and ridiculous self-serving mismanagement as any big company they try so hard not to be. If you want to do well, never say what you mean and never mean what you say. I think their supreme success with the terminal gives the company the mistaken impression that they will be successful at anything just because they say so. It'll be interesting to see where it all goes.
