Pros

Provide great health and 401k benefits, free food, $75 daily COVID stipend for traveling etc

Cons

Team leaders and managers dont know what theyre doing, the pay is HORRIBLe and everyone is leaving because of it, which makes the lives of people who are still here even worse as work load continues to increase due to mass exodus with management working really slow to find replacements. basically, at this point, everyone is looking for a way out and people are only here while they are on their own job hunts. Maybe new hires might get competitive pay but people who have stuck around get really bad pay, with horrible increases each year. For reference, my current job on the street can make 40-50k more than what i make at bloomberg. They take advantage of young adults in their 20s and trap them in with this notion of a great company but then once youre hired, never looked at again for meaningful salary increases. If the current rate continues, Bloomberg wont have any employees with useful knowledge, and subject matter experts left. Theres a reason theres a mass exodusy They have also forced return to office for people in global data which is not necessary. They are not flexible with you working from different offices either, despite managemet emails claiming them to be. Currently, you have to go into the office 3 days a week, and as with everything at BLoomberg, your calendars are tracked and management is notified when you dont do this. If youre looking for a flexible working experience, Bloomberg is not the answer for you.

Pros

the company has great business model, growing profits. Very well known brand in the market. Useful to have on your CV - if you are looking to be in the Financial Vendor space.

Cons

Great place for your 1st job & Great place for your last job. (Not in between when you want to advance your career and make money you deserve) > Company treats employees like cogs in the wheel- completely replaceable. Does not value loyalty. Treats all employees- however much experience you have- as a child in school- where you are told exactly what you should do. On the outside it prides on being a transparent organization- with its missive GLASS building/office interiors without cabins- however in terms of Compensation and career growth- its as opaque as it gets. Run by a bunch of old school Men, company only TALKS about diversity and inclusion- (alot) - but in reality its believe system is very chauvinistic. Owner believes in Charity- and most profits are drained into philanthropic activities under his name- very little is given back to the employees in terms of salary increases/bonuses.

Pros

Free food, not much work actually needs to be done, you just need to talk a lot and show presence. The only thing they care about is you doing the helpdesk. You can also volunteer, go to events and doing different stuff to waste your time at work. There are some learning opportunities.

Cons

If you are ambitious don’t go there. The job is absolute nonsense. The team leads and the managers are there because they are not capable of doing actual jobs, so they find themselves in “managing” and micromanaging. For example, my team leader once was checking how I am sending an email to someone (not client). This job completely shattered my mental heath and self worth, I was so unhappy. And no, the problem was not me, since I left I am doing fine and don’t hate my job that much at any times despite any difficulties that I may have. My advice to people who are stuck there and afraid to make a move: the earlier you do it the better for you. And no, free nuts are not a reason to keep a bad job. No one’s job should be as boring, annoying and self-humiliating.
