Pros

I worked at Bloomberg for over 8 years. I was able to move to different departments. If you do a good job and they like you as a person, you will definitely be well compensated. Compensation and bonus depends on how much profit your department makes though. If you are smart and a go getter, it is easy to move up the ladder to become a team leader or manager. People who work there are really nice and helpful.

Cons

People who have been there a long time and complacent are being "let go" and replaced by younger people for half the price.

Pros

You can learn about everything, have access to incredible resources, mix with a uniquely multicultural and multinational crowd, work overseas, move around in the company to diverse jobs, move markets, get excited, break news, have access to newsmakers, be a big-foot on Wall Street, take in-house classes on finance and using the technology, make very good money with superb benefits.

Cons

Core business is grind-it-out wire service, little room for a writer, top-heavy management engaged in relentless political infighting, a culture of blame and finger-pointing and general terror, no job security, very long hours and expectation of 24/7 on-call, general disregard for employees state of mind, terrible work-life balance, fast talkers often reap the rewards, company constantly changes direction, decisions poorly explained to staff.
