    2.0

    Bloomberg L.P. Financial Software Developer in New York, NY:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    Pros

    Line on the resume
    Good pay, but if you count all the hours you really work, it's less impressive
    The building is really cool - multicolored glass, transparency, lots of open space
    Events scheduled for interns
    Flexible work hours

    Cons

    Work is not really challenging.
    Lots of repetitive work.
    Need to fill out programmer's notes every day.
    If you're a programmer and you hope to learn more about finance by working here... it won't happen.
    If you're an intern, you cannot bill more than 40 hrs per week. Almost everybody works more, but you won't be paid for overtime.
    Free food and drinks are always there, but if you're health conscious, most of it won't be of much benefit to you.
    IB - "Instant Bloomberg" - instant messaging for Bloomberg employees - can get in the way of work.
    Old technology.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Be open to (or at least consider) creative ideas that could bring more money to the company. People can be more productive.
