Pros

-smart colleagues and not much politicking on the reporter level -generous pay and healthcare benefits -strong philanthropic core belief, company is a stellar corporate citizen -lots of ability to move around in new jobs - you'll never grow stale

Cons

-is a fair amount of upper-level politicking -downside to collaboration is that it can eat up time you want to spend on your own stories -sometimes too many editors have their fingers in the pot on enterprise stories -Good 401(k) match but some of the funds don't have the lowest expense ratios possible

Pros

Opportunities to do lots of work with data and finance to apply knowledge in both programming and Subject-Matter Expertise (SME). Excellent Work-Life Balance (WLB) and extremely welcoming culture. You can reach out to anyone for help or just to talk, and they will get back to you (although management does require more scheduling in advance). Generous compensation (good wage) and benefits, including housing for interns. If you heard the rumors that the Bloomberg Princeton office has a great Bloomberg Pantry (read: company-provided breakfast and lunch), the rumors are true.

Cons

Not the place for those looking for cutting-edge AI. The company is not as fast with AI as the company prioritizes reliability and accuracy above all, and much of AI is not at an acceptable threshold for management to be willing to take that risk with financial data (at least in 2026). You may get a project to automate menial processes, which is really cool, but that tends to involve actually doing the menial processes, which feels unproductive. Princeton office is good but New York is considered preferable. Coworkers are not very reachable outside of work hours. Compensation is low in Data compared to Software Engineers.
