Good for graduates, but you shouldnt hang around for too long ...

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is great for a first job as you are exposed to different fields of work and quickly learn how things work and get client exposure. For somebody who wants to start in finances you can learn a lot and then move on. Also the work enviroment is nice, the teams mostly work well together, you go out in the evenings and the athmosphere is friendly.

Cons

The salary is quite bad considering the industry and what Bloombergs competitors pay. Managers are often incompetent, too young and obviously never received any kind of management training. Therefore (salary) reviews and promotions are based on managers preferences and not on your actual performance. There seems to be a huge divide between people that have been hired in the last 5 years and those that have been there longer. The senior staff seems to be paid well which results from the much better salary levels they had under Mike Bloomberg (or so they say) and then there are the younger ones, many of those leave the company after less than 2 years...

Don't work here unless you have absolutely no choice

Business Outlook

Pros

If you have absolutely no other choice. If McDonald's will not offer you a job. This place gives you free food and free prescription. They have a nurse that works there all the time. You have to wonder why they would need a full-time nurse.

Cons

Long long long hours. Managers that have no management skills. A lot of arrogant, and no goods to back it up. If you need to go to the doctors or dentist, you have to take a vacation day. I worked there for over a year and I have never seen more people wheeled out by the ambulance than any where else. People pass out of exhaustion from working there.

Bloomberg is a company on the decline.

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg has a great compensation and benefits package. It is a good company to develop your career fresh out of college.

Cons

Bloomberg was a great place to work a few years ago. However in the last few years it has become increasingly bureaucratic. It has lost the vision and zeal of its founder, Michael Bloomberg. Today the same creativity and boldness that Michael Bloomberg encouraged is no longer an asset, in fact, it is discouraged. The user interface for its primary product is dated.
