Bloomberg reviews

There is no meritocracy; this place it’s a politics game. They don’t promote people for their results or hard work, they only promote if your manager likes you, even if you barely do the minimum. I saw people being saboted just for not being “manager’s favorite”, even though being the best in the group. They don’t care about people, they ask you to be at the office every day at 8am - long hours. They asked people to return to office for no reason, even before getting vaccinated during the pandemic and against government advice at the time. They monitor everything you do: every single e-mail and phone call. They don’t care about the quality of work, so some people play the system and have a very bad work, but they don’t care as long as in the system looks nice.

You will learn quickly the micromanaged environment. It feels like it squeezes the life out of you on a daily basis. It came to a point where I dreaded having to walk in to office. Very poor management and guidance from them on the get go. Management would seem to always twist things in their favor and throw you under the bus. Extremely stressful and not enough resources to assist you when you are first learning the product. I am baffled that even the manager did not clearly understand the product. Requesting help from them would do more harm than good. I don't recall at any point of time where the manager was actually helpful. Another manager however was brilliant and knew the product very well and was personable and helpful. It doesn't make sense having two managers/team leaders where one barely knows anything, is not helpful , and throws you under the bus every time you ask a genuine question. Almost as if it hurts their ego because they know they don't understand, but they do everything in the book to twist and put it against you, it's laughable. I would strongly consider NOT applying or accepting this role unless you really need the money or have no other options. However, you will sacrifice your mental health greatly in exchange for that. It's not worth it and would be able to do much better elsewhere and with better pay. You are expected to conform, kiss up, and take whatever it is management gives you. Their ego's are very fragile, so it's important to do this if you want to survive. Remember, the objective here is to be obedient, don't ask questions, don't do anything against the status quo. This is not acceptable here. You must obey their system no matter what is served to you on that day.
