Company needs to rethink their rehire policy

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked at Bloomberg for over 14 years. It was a great place to grow in my career in move up in the ranks. Their compensation and bonus package are unbeatable.

Cons

The company needs to rethink their rehire policy. I didn't leave the company because I wanted to or to go work for the competition. The reason I left, is because Bloomberg decided to shut down my division. I was also a highly rated employee. Nevertheless, I was told that I couldn't be rehired by the company. I'm not sure if the no rehire policy is still implemented, but I know Bloomberg has lost out on a number of dedicated employees because of it. Compared to other organizations, the company's review process is also extensive. Not only do you have to submit an extensive self-evaluation, but your manager has to do so as well.

Pros

Exceptional but very dated product Great benefits

Cons

Very weak middle management led mainly by people who flourished while Bloomberg was flying off the shelves in the 80's/90's. Very little innovation happening. Money is being spent on business losers (news media) instead of continuing to deliver the very best core terminal.

Buzzing work environment, really smart people and varied work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Bloomberg isn't really a finance company - it's a technology company whose primary clients happen to be in the financial sector. As such it is the equivalent of Google or Facebook in its world. For the software developer, it offers a chance to work on a large scale, distributed system used by 300,000+ premium clients to help them make decisions within the financial markets. This means solving problems of scalability and robustness on a scale which relatively few other companies other than the ones already mentioned may have to deal with. The work environment is friendly and open, and the company is constantly working to refresh its technologies in order to advance its products.

Cons

Bloomberg has vast amounts of code in its system -- and some of it is really old (Fortran 77 from the eighties or nineties). Having to work with or around some of this code may put off some developers.
