Pros

- Great technologists - Working at Bloomberg makes you distrust (but still like) many newer technologies. It's a Pro - Job safety as long as you put a moderate effort - Very good training available

Cons

- Working at Bloomberg makes you distrust (but still like) many newer technologies. And also a Con - Attrition (You have people that leave after 2 years and some others that stay forever)

Pros

Perks plus average salary. Good place for newly graduated students to gain experiences; The right place for guys and girls want to rise to the top, and smart guys have no ambitions but a easy life. The office in Skillman and Ridge Road is not that bad, it is not as crowded as 731 office in NYC. If you happen do not have family, you do not need to cook, there would be breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Skillman office is mins to shopping centers and restaurants, it is convenient to invite friends to dine out. There used to be shuttle bus to NYC office, making it convenient to meet your colleagues in Princeton and NYC. The NYC office on near Central Park, you can take subway to 56 St, Lexington Av, then walk several mins. In the 731 Lex bldg, they have one of the helix elevators in the world.

Cons

Old technology ( most of C, C++, event F77, home brewed database), Bureaucracy on project budgets among business dept and rd dept. Inexperienced managers without management training and background; Requirement of daily PN note, billing time politically correct; Shuffle of RD management teams when ever the RD head changes, you will need to follow the right guys to go to the higher positions, otherwise you will stuck there, or demoted. And yeah, the manager's preferences Very long working hours, unrealistic expectations
