Pros

If you want a stable job and just want to spend everyday in the same tedious way, Bloomberg LP is the right place to go. They usually dont fire people, and the work there is just daily routine stuff that doesnt require any intelligence.

Cons

Very not productive environment. If you want to test something, you usually have to wait for 30 minutes before you get approval for access certain machines. A lot of fortran/c code written by some non computer science background people 10 years ago. You will spend days debugging those junk code if there's a bug.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
