Pros
- Nearly free healthcare/dental/vision - Paid Time Off and fixed 8hr+1 workday - Fully stocked pantry/free dinner - Educational benefits (tuition and prof dev reimbursement) - Annual Picnic - Dedication to philanthropy - Excellent offices/location - Dedication to training their employees in Bloomberg product
Kontras
- Analytics/Sales day-to-day job is very reactive, short-term, and task-based. There is no ability to see a project through from end to end. - Everything from communication to productivity is monitored and micromanaged by middle managers - While the company espouses transparency, there is no transparency when it comes to compensation and career progression - Career progression is solely based on business need and not on the strengths of the employee - Non-transferable skills to outside of Bloomberg (you get trapped in the Bloomberg bubble) - Promotions/Internal job changes with higher responsibility do not translate into higher compensation - More senior people at the company are the middle of the pack. Top talent find opportunities elsewhere with the education Bloomberg provides. Underperformers are weeded out through constant changes in departments and not being compensated well.
