Pros

The work place environment is great, T.V. monitor everywhere, glass meeting rooms, expensive desk and chairs, locations in top financial districts. Culture at Bloomberg is very interesting as well with colors and art. Also I have grown to love the perks with the food and beverages.

Cons

Direction is unclear. There are many of gray areas working at Bloomberg. Compensation for over work and stress is not recognized enough. But in the end it all works out. My previous employer was the US Navy and it operated worse than Bloomberg.

Good place to work, would help if management decisions were explained more clearly

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere is fast paced, the salary is decent as are the bonuses (at least so far), communication channels are fairly clear compared to many other places I've worked. I've seen some complaints about programmer notes in some of the other posts, but at least there are systems for tracking issues, projects and work completed--I've worked in many places outside the finance industry where things aren't nearly as clear-cut. Many of the Plan B changes appear to be intended for improving retention, especially for employees with families. Bloomberg used to be notorious for requiring "face time" from employees; having the option to work at home for a day when kids are sick makes life a lot easier.

Cons

The hours can be long, it is expensive to live in/near NYC, and sometimes upper management decisions are a mystery.

Good place to work, but won't keep you satisfied.

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg as a work place has not had the best reputation in the past but a lot of that has changed. It is a very open kind of place which some people like and some do not.

Cons

A problem is that a lot of talented Programmers leave because they are really not challenged there. As a quant, Bloomberg will not necessarily be the brightest star on your resume, regardless of famous quants that consult there.
