Pros

Money is pretty good, but matchable in most cases. Almost no layoffs.Offices are nice. Many things about the product are remarkable. They have the money to try to do a really excellent job. If only their editorial leadership were better.Much better place for customers than employees.

Cons

This is where dumb Nazis go to die.The number of things I had to explain to my bosses was unmatched and unmatchable. Culture was awful -- paranoid, political, risk averse. Guards follow you around the lobby and complain if your tie is on top of your ID. Cameras everywhere. Nuts all around.

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.
