Pros

- Great benefits - Good compensation - Casual work environment - Market leader - Good place to coast your career if you just want a stable job - No layoffs...yet

Cons

- No emphasis on software design - entire mentality is focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. - Managers actually discourage you from spending too much time designing code! - A lot of legacy code that is poorly written with no documentation - Management is very set on their ways - TONS of proprietary software - Lack of professional development. - Most likely will not learn much regarding software development...but you might learn a lot about finance

Pros

Not bad as first job, especially if you dont know what else is avilable. Also good if Bloomberg name appears on CV. Others mention free food, but in London office they dont even have place to eat for employees: you are supposed to eat at your desk or eat out all the time. My salary at Bloomberg would not allow me to do much of the latter. It is good palce for someone who like to work non-stop, prefferably without breaks, who can give 110% for the business and leave -10% for yourself and personal life. It is not me for sure.

Cons

long hours, too much pressure for the money you get; "pushing" all the time from the management; unbearable
