Underpaid, but great benefits. If you started prior to 2002 or bring lots of experience you earn a high salary. - Anonymous employee Bloomberg Employee Review

Pros

Great Benefits, Great people that work here, Amazing R&D team, Great Sales Work, If you come in with experience you will get pay very well. R&D, Sales, News, Trading Solutions, are considered income producing side of the company.

Cons

If you work in other departments you will get a lot less benefits, low pay and more micromanaged. Its like working in a completely different company. Upper management does not move, so you are better off moving to another company if you want to move around. When you do move up, your salary does not increase until end of year or sometimes not at all.

Pros

Opportunities to do lots of work with data and finance to apply knowledge in both programming and Subject-Matter Expertise (SME). Excellent Work-Life Balance (WLB) and extremely welcoming culture. You can reach out to anyone for help or just to talk, and they will get back to you (although management does require more scheduling in advance). Generous compensation (good wage) and benefits, including housing for interns. If you heard the rumors that the Bloomberg Princeton office has a great Bloomberg Pantry (read: company-provided breakfast and lunch), the rumors are true.

Cons

Not the place for those looking for cutting-edge AI. The company is not as fast with AI as the company prioritizes reliability and accuracy above all, and much of AI is not at an acceptable threshold for management to be willing to take that risk with financial data (at least in 2026). You may get a project to automate menial processes, which is really cool, but that tends to involve actually doing the menial processes, which feels unproductive. Princeton office is good but New York is considered preferable. Coworkers are not very reachable outside of work hours. Compensation is low in Data compared to Software Engineers.
