Pros

Company Benefits & Office Perks

Cons

Workforce Bullying and Harassment I observed and experienced behaviors that fell short of fostering an inclusive and respectful work environment. This greatly affected team morale and, at times, made it difficult to focus on delivering my best work. Limited Responsiveness from HR I sought support from HR where necessary, advocating for a healthier team dynamic. But HR did absolutely NOTHING. I experienced retaliation from my managers and HR. Also my manager TOLD the person I reported that it was me because they had a VERY close relationship. The resolution process with HR was highly ineffective in addressing workplace issues. This occasionally left me feeling unsupported and contributed to a sense of frustration among team members. If they don’t like you they will put you on a performance plan ASAP or offer you severance so you do not become a liability for the company.

Pros

Exposed to different cultures. If you are lucky, you can take part on cool projects and sharpen multiple skills. Healthcare cover is amazing

Cons

They only care about numbers. Everyone knows this department sucks, so if you suck up to your team leader you'll be able to move faster. If you don't, they'll make you stay and force you to hit impossible targets until they run you dry and force you out. They don't see the qualities in you or the areas that you are good at, if you are not a TL's pet they need you to be a robot and be good at everything or else they'll use the areas you are failing at as an excuse to sack you.

Pros

+ Extensive training, very stiff learning curve, you're here to acquire techincal skills in finance, tech, coding, excel, sales etc and utilize them asap + Company culture is really really good. Extensive effort on diversity and inclusion. You finish work at 6PM unless you're in training, which happens to be 2 - 3 months in your first year at the company (many ppl who worked in finance before don't study over-time btw) + Fast career progression, after 12 months you are usually headed to sales, or advanced analytics, data, enterprise etc. Migrating across departments is common and acceptable, as long as business needs are there. + HR is extremely reactive when flagging any people-related issues. They don't fire under-performers but they will fire you should you say the N-Word to a colleague in the elevator. + The pay is competitive + Management usually supports you. I am personally blessed with a very good team leader. Some are dissatisfied with their TL, it's often case by case but the consensus is usually positive as of end of 2023. + "Rewards" are actual rewards. If you finish first in a sales call competition, they do give you half a day off for example, not a dumb stress ball with 'Bloomberg' written on it or free pizza.

Cons

- Every 'Sales and Analyitcs' review here highlights it: it's extremely micro-managed. Your every move is watched and evaluated. Nothing is ever enough. You need to put a fair amount of distance between you and your job, as management will never be fully satisfied with whatever you produce. - It is extremely corporate and politics are everything, like in any major financial/tech institution out there. Be aware you'll have to play that 'corporate' game should you start working for Bloomberg. Networking is not compulsory but is key to career progression. Introverts beware.
