Pros

Bloomberg is a great company if your manager is supportive and you like working in a communal environment.

Cons

Lower management has a lot of power and autonomy at Bloomberg and if for whatever reason (personal, racial, or maybe your higher level of education than theirs, etc.) they are not supportive of you, they can make a lot of unfair decisions regarding your pay and green card application. Most people have bachelor's or master's degrees at Bloomberg and sometimes older employees view newer people with higher degrees as threats to their careers due to its flat structure. So, I actually don't recommend Bloomberg if you have a higher education degree.

Pros

You can learn how to use the Bloomberg terminal.

Cons

They want to be like bankers in the city, but it is completely different. The job is so boring, I will never suggest to work there. As they do not have real competitors, they can allow to hire people without any skill (to some of them I had to teach how to merge two cells in excel!).

Pros

Nicer to be employed than unemployed.

Cons

Knowing the employee turnover and general opinions of employees (that you hear in the office), I don't understand who writes these 4-5 star reviews? Bloomberg HR maybe? My recollection is that pretty much everybody plans on leaving when the first opportunity comes, as the company is rotten to the core. The managers are either young pets, who are brown nosing the seniors, or mediocre "Tony Middle Level Manager"s, who have stayed at Bloomberg since 1986, as they are too incompetent to get a job anywhere else. In London, the turnover is the highest, and in Princeton some people stay longer as they are less other opportunities around. Bloomberg is not the first choice for anybody! People work at Bloomberg only because they have to.
