Pros

Pantry Steep learning curve at start Benefit,medical insurance package Some colleagues are bright and friendly Nice office. Training opportunities.

Cons

Some of the management are incompetent, lack of experience or management skill,biased and talk a lot of bs, who only care about their own matrix instead of the company's well being. The company treasures ppl who can talk and show instead of those who can work,deliver and make a real impact to the business, thus loosing good talent, retaining and promoting mediocre ppl who only know saying yes to their bosses. Limited career prospects within the company. Every decision is top down and there is no feedback system. Too US dominated.

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.
