Mediocre for a tech company

Pros

Great benefits - 401k matching, great health insurance Free access to almost all museums in NYC Lots of opportunity for advancement Great work life balance

Cons

Really old and proprietary tech stack which has become burdensome. Most teams have a lot of legacy code written by people who've only ever worked at Bloomberg The whole talk about a meritocracy is all BS. Your manager is your judge, jury and executioner. If your manager likes you, then you're in good stead. If he/she doesn't, then you're screwed No real company vision

Pros

Friendly colleagues, might meet interesting clients, decent salary. Nearly impossible to get fired

Cons

About 50% of managers are heavy micro-managers, lots of box ticking and constantly changing priorities (think massive prioritization changes every other week)

Great company but culture is a little weird

Pros

Competitive salaries, great benefits (health, 401K), good offices

Cons

The internal politics can be a little much sometimes. And there's a bit of a "Dear Leader" vibe when it comes to Mike Bloomberg. But the biggest drawback is the horizontal structure that doesn't leave a lot of room for advancement in a lot of departments especially media.
