Pros
A lot of money, all cash. If you're totally cool with the corporate life, you never have to leave. The company is insanely stable. You'll survive all market conditions.
Cons
Old tech is painful. Return-to-office sucks. Buracratic non-sense is real (even if they try to argue it's not). Office is new and modern, but kinda lifeless. 90% of the time, no food. When there is food, it was a bowl of soup, and ppl line up 100 ft waiting 5 minutes, feels very depressing. The "values" just feel like a bunch of fluff to make everyone feel good and feel like theyre doing a good thing. The Bloomberg Philanthropy is a lot about the PR. It all kinda feels dystopian. There's not enough room for everyone to get ahead (naturally, not their fault). To get ahead, you'd need to spend years (even if they say you dont need to) just bc there are no positions available. And... there will be others just as good as you who are qualified. The terminal is old and annoying. It's cool at first, but it gets old real fast. You never actually learn how to use the terminal like a finance guy. There's no real training/on-boarding to teach you the Bloomberg ecosystem (which is important).
