Pros

Company is really dynamic - changes happen virtually every few months so you won't get bored. Environment is very good too - people are by and large friendly and supportive. Managers trust you with a lot of responsibility from early days. Performance is expected and rewarded.

Cons

The more people spent with the company the more they buy into the "Bloomberg way" of doing things even if it is against common sense and/or market practices. In particular, the technology foundations are fairly outdated and a lot of the time is spent fighting against the setbacks of existing systems as opposed to designing and delivering cutting edge solutions to clients.

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.
