Pros

- Decent hours in Beijing, not expected to stay late... though this may be changing

Cons

- "Bloomberg culture" is cult-like. To succeed in the company you have to drink the koolaid. - Extreme micromanagement... to a shocking degree. - Let me say it again, ***extreme micromanagement*** - Your clock in hour, minute, and second is visible to the entire company. - China business is managed from Hong Kong, which means senior management is clueless about how to do business in China - Neither of the two co-China managers have any actual experience selling in China. Neither speak Chinese. - Local sales who actually know how to do business in China face a bamboo ceiling - You will succeed here if you are good at slacking while pretending to do work, talking BS to your boss, and gaming your metrics - Finally, ***extreme micromanagement*** Seriously.

Pros

Bloomberg Tradebook had a chance to shine under Mifid but sadly that was not the route taken by senior Bloomberg management

Cons

It became a joke in the last 12 months as management were like rabbits stuck in headlights. No Mifid strategy, no direction, morale at rock bottom. It was on life support until MB finally pulled the plug by steering clients towards Goldman. How to destroy a $200m business overnight!

Pros

Great perks, good work culture. Truly transparent. Benefits are unmatched elsewhere. Free breakfast, lunch, dinner. Great 401k match, $0 out of pocket on dental, medical, vision. Flexible time off, can carry over 5 days, unlimited work from home and sick days.

Cons

Work is very monotonous. Will eventually be replaced by machines. Not all managers are well equipped to be managers. Lots of turnover, most people rarely stay on the same team more than 5 years. Hard to move up, very flat structure.
