Pros

* Fantastic pay and benefits * Great internal technical training * Projects are generally very interesting, you can see the direct consumer impact * Summer picnic is fun with free drinks, food, and some rides and activities for families * Depending on the team, flexible temporary work from home options for any issues at home, such as childcare

Cons

* Based in extremely high cost of living * Very politically active company - get emails and other messaging from management about their political activism, especially after 2016 * Partially due to being in NYC, and partially from political openness from management, the office can feel very progressive-leaning and make more moderate and conservative leaning people feel uncomfortable * Middle management sometimes disorganized from stuffing too many projects into sprints and quarterly planning, causing breakdowns in future sprint and quarterly planning meetings * The "Bloomberg Development Environment" (BDE) and other Bloomberg-specific toolchains and technologies mean many of your skills are less portable to new companies if looking to move companies
