Pros

They are good to their employees, provide plenty of training, opportunities and benefits are on the more generous side.

Cons

It's become big and clunky and very slow to react - not as fast and agile as it used to be. Management structure is very flat so progression is relative, mostly sideways. Promotions are not always based on merit, so you have very young, inexperienced lower/middle management who excel at their roles as "Yes" men/women.

Pros

Bloomberg News is a place where you'll learn a lot, be challenged and work very hard. The company is all changing. There are a lot of talented journalists here, though many are misused. Resources, salary, benefits as good or better than nearly all other news organizations.

Cons

One of the unfriendliest, poorly managed places I've ever worked. Many middle and senior managers are poorly trained, with weak skills, even for the news business. Many are promoted more for their ability to dump on their subordinates and sheep-like adherence to the "Bloomberg Way." Managers are routinely rude, condescending and treat people poorly. Most people dislike working here but do it because of few other choices.
