Bloomberg reviews

Analytics is the worst department, whether you are in BCS or in “Analytics and Sales”. It’s just a glorified customer support position, you most likely will not be an analyst unless you work on client spreadsheets. Everyone wants out of this department whether they are having a good or bad experience. If you are unfortunately placed on a team where you have a terrible manager or team lead, you have to be their favorite, kiss up to them, or document all your successes. Even still it’s an uphill battle from there. There are several instances I have heard of and seen in real-time of HR not stepping in or keeping someone in a leadership position that has been accused of harassment (bullying, verbal, sexual, racial, microaggressions). HR or employer relations pretty much just covers everything up. Or worse it is a common practice for them to share the report with the person being reported. From that point on the person who made the report faces retaliation and nothing is done about it. Before joining a team if possible try to get feedback from current and former team members to inform your decision. Looking at the company reviews on here just proves how widespread the issue is with a bad manager/team lead being able to make or break you.

Bloomberg is very, very "cliequey" if thats a word. They pride themselves on their FST bootcamp and you'll quickly learn that most of your senior colleagues have grown up within the company with the same people they did the bootcamp with. Additionally, note the power dynamics of people on the US work visa. Many of them need to bite their tongue for years while they wait for a green card. Managers get used to quiet people and kinda of freak out, once a rare disagreable employee tells them "no". tl;dr You'll need to play careful political game if you enter Bbg as a senior tech hire to succeed. Tech stack is home grown and kind of peculiar. But the chill pace of the company makes up for it.
