Bloomberg reviews

Now here are the cons: First, take heed to many of the comments written about managers. Many managers currently in place have moved up the pipeline through connections or likability - not through grit or hard work. In addition, your initial manager will define your success or failure before you step foot in the door so my advice, make sure to do some vetting before you accept an offer here. Second, while the company is great at tackling challenges outside of the organization, there is a significant amount of work to be done on diversity and inclusion front. Let me explain: If you are a cis White male, you will have countless opportunities at your disposal even if you lack the education, experience or credentials. Leadership within the organization is akin to a fraternity where you’re accepted based on whether you’re liked by management and not by how hard you work. This moves me to my next point - women and minorities in leadership. Of the 19k+ employees worldwide, Black employees make up less than 3.8% of the workforce. Latino demographics are slightly higher perhaps by a base point or two. Asians account for roughly 7-8% I believe. While you will see minorities scattered throughout the organization, the reality that few of them achieve leadership success within the organization is certainly true. For women of color, especially Black women of color, the harsh reality is even fewer achieve leadership success despite many of them having stellar performance reviews and tenured experience. Retention for women and minorities is even more of a joke. Countless number of women and minorities are leaving the company because of the cis white male hegemony present within the organization.

Global Data in particular needs to be completely gutted of the awful talent that is leading it on almost every level. The organization chart has become a mess, and people who should be leading departments are suppressed by awful managers who are in their positions because of how long they have been there and who they have befriended. This goes for many, many Team Leaders too. Your experience at Bloomberg will be significantly impacted based on who your initial Team Leader is.
