OK working environment, competitive among team members. Company willing to invest in the training of the junior member is definitely a plus.

Pros

- office at 731 Lexington is very beautiful and easy to commute to. - the food pantry is always stocked; you will be very spoiled. - I'm a big fan of their trade floor seating style. It encourages openness and communication . - training program for new hires is very good. You make many new friends. - good benefits. Bloomberg was a great way to start my career right out of college. The company relocates you to NYC, which for me was the opportunity of a lifetime. I was given many responsibilities here and overall felt I was compensated fairly. They train you to be very productive, and that helps when looking for a new career.

Cons

- The constant on call duty can get stressful. You will get calls at 1 AM for seemingly minor issues. - upper management can be egotistical and bullies. Their solution is to scream at engineers until the problem is solved. - the culture has a big brother feel. There are security guards everywhere, and you feel like you are being watched all the time. - the software is very chaotic and poorly managed. You will constantly fight fires.
