Bloomberg reviews

Yeah don’t let the snacks fool you. This is a place you don’t want too stay long. Most managers are narcissistic despite having zero skills. They love to gaslight you, play favorites, and talk down to you. Some of the worst communicators and leaders I’ve experienced in my career. If you don’t fit into the sorority/fraternity culture you’ll probably be pushed out in the near future. Continuously talk about DEI but they are anything but inclusive over here. If you’re a minority, work somewhere else. Not many mid career professionals remain because many realized you can work for other places in tech/finance and be treated like an actual adult + make more money. No real career progression once you become an AM. Many people swear this is a great place to work but have never worked anywhere else. Toxic Culture where managers pick scapegoats for when their team in performing poorly despite having a fake sales cycle/strategy. Clients will just reach when they want to add a Terminal or product. Sooner or later you going to start seeing more reviews like this.

1) I would strongly not recommend this job to Finance graduates (especially Masters in Finance), as you will not be able to practice your skills, gain valuable and transferrable knowledge. This job can be done by any school graduate, you don't need to know anything about finance, financial markets and even terminal itself: they provide training about what is stock and bond and teach you how to use terminal in a couple of weeks. All skills that you develop is cold-calling (or annoying people with promoting minor terminal upgrades, like adding a new button to IB chat) and terminal knowledge. 2) Most managers are randomly appointed to their positions and lack financial/managerial or any relevant post-graduate education. You cannot learn anything from your manager. 3) low morale (as people after 6m-1y starts to look for new job and everyone understands it) 4) dull, stressful and repetitive nature of work: you either respond in Bloomberg help chat to repetitive questions from clients or do cold calling. This repeats every day. When I left Sales&Analytics and joined another role and new company, I realised that year I spent at Bloomberg was a waste of time and complete degradation of skills.
