Pros

The work is challenging and very rewarding. The company cares a lot about its employees and it shows through the competitive compensation, great benefits, and access to whatever you need to get the job done.

Cons

The experience can vary depending on the team you are on. I have friends who are in groups that they don't enjoy very much.

It all depends on the manager and the particular team!

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg is a great company if your manager is supportive and you like working in a communal environment.

Cons

Lower management has a lot of power and autonomy at Bloomberg and if for whatever reason (personal, racial, or maybe your higher level of education than theirs, etc.) they are not supportive of you, they can make a lot of unfair decisions regarding your pay and green card application. Most people have bachelor's or master's degrees at Bloomberg and sometimes older employees view newer people with higher degrees as threats to their careers due to its flat structure. So, I actually don't recommend Bloomberg if you have a higher education degree.
