Pros

Coworkers are great, team leaders are great as well.

Cons

Compensation is poor. If you stay within the company and move roles, expect to only get a 2-5% increase (if even) in salary regardless of what the new role's base pay is. Even then, do not expect to see an increase in your salary 6months to a year later. The ability to transition from the Support umbrella to any other business in Bloomberg is almost slim to none. It is advertised that Support is the "stepping stone" into Bloomberg as a company, but what is left unsaid is that only 1 in 150~ employees actually are able to transition. HR is completely unaware of what the team they are in charge of do. Worse, HR is held in almost universal contempt by all entry level positions within Support as all attempts to work with HR to develop their careers are met with either silence or apathy.

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.
