Pros

-great perks ( free drinks, bagels, fresh fruit' snacks & occasional gourmet dinners) -Fantastic benefits package...only few other big companies match ( apple, Microsoft, Facebook) -4 weeks of vacation to start! -Hard work...unless why would you want to be here?

Cons

-long hours, during project launches (I'm nitpicking here...comes with the territory) -Allow the elevator to stop on the 4th floor!!!! (inside joke), but very valid critic.

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the best benefits package you can find (including specialist outpatient benefits, wellness benefit to pay for gym membership for instance) Young and fun environment Open Culture - Pantry Nice events, ie Summer Party

Cons

Opportunities not given adequately by management Not enough transparency within department Lousy increment and bonus Management shows favourtism If you are asked to relocate, no relocation compensation is given. Skill set not transferrable, people out there see us as a vendor. Whenever you go to meet clients, clients don't greet us by name and say "Bloomberg is here".

Bloomberg is an energetic and exciting environment, and does a great job with training.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, young and fun environment. A lot of exposure to different market players and environments- hedge funds, PMs, traders, etc.

Cons

There is very little time spent on building a skill set that can be transferred, depending on career goals and past experience it may not be a great springboard to buy/sell side or front office finance. Those who have worked on the street in general do better and gain credibility quickly with clients as opposed to the "fresh out of college" reps that are rushed through the process.
