Pros

Nice benefits. The open office design at 731 Lexington encourages communication, for many people, intimidates some. The Bloomberg terminal is a primary tool of the global financial elite.

Cons

The hours are very long and good work is not always recognized. Responsibilities are not clearly defined for many departments. Communication between departments is erratic. There's a lot of duplicated efforts, reinvention of the wheels. The workloads are heavy for almost everyone, from entry-level to upper-management. A downside of this is that managers are often cranky. New employees in some departments are not given enough direction.

Pros

-Strong brand name and hence looks good on your CV -Nice offices conveniently located in the City -Free food & drink from the pantry -Good in-house training courses

Cons

-Way too rigid, everything has to be done the Bloomberg way regardless of results -Lack of trust in employee’s leads to a culture of micromanagement -Unclear communication and leadership despite claiming to have a flat organisational hierarchy -Too much company politics - Managers speaking negatively about other employees and showing clear favouritism. In my view this is totally unprofessional -Long hours, but can depend on department and your Team Leader -Arrogant mindset -think they are like an investment bank, but they are not!
