Working at Bloomberg is a terrible thing to do to yourself

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good and if you show up on time and write tidy programmers notes you'll never get fired.

Cons

Utter stifling of creativity and innovation. You're required to detail all time spent in programmers notes. Try putting in some notes about thinking about the big picture! It would be comic if not sad that humans are expected to work and act as automatons -- and dumb automatons at that, impervious to the fact they're being talked down to at every minute. I've watched really smart people who needed the money become shadows of their own selves. Oh and not to mention: the technology is antique.

if you are looking to grow rapidly as a reporter, this is not the place to do it...

Pros

worldwide reach, chance to cover a variety of subjects. The pay is pretty good compared to other news organizations that you will work for. Your job is probably more secure at Bloomberg, because they are more immune to changes in the economy than other news organizaiton because they cater more to the financial community

Cons

stifles creativity, work is repetitive. there is little coaching and professional development from higher ups. you can get easily stuck in a box covering the same thing over and over again, and find yourself writing the same stories five years later. When i left to go to a newspaper I had more experiences in a month than I did reporting for a year and a half in this office

Good compensation, but difficult to advance in company

Financial applications developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation at Bloomberg for entry level qualified positions is relatively high. It is a well-known company and a very recognizable brand name.

Cons

There is very little upside to working at Bloomberg. The compensation system is nowhere near ideal, as your bonus for this year is paid out in the following year, to ensure that you stay at the company. Mobility is extremely limited, and it seems that the company has been moving backwards ever since Bloomberg left the company to become mayor.
