      Pros

      Good salary Good benefits beautiful office in the center of NYC very good summer corporate party

      Cons

      Bloomberg's motto is: Get Things Done. You should develop your application as fast as possible. Nobody asks you about design. Nobody asks you to write any documentation. Just get things done. As the result Bloomberg has tones of spontaneously designed and not documented code. Most likely you will be hired to support this code. You will have to fix bugs and improve code which should be redesigned 10 years ago. But nobody will let you redesign it. Just get things done and fix the bug as fast as possible. Every day you will get new tickets to fix. This is the way how you will learn your project. The only way you could understand what to do is to ask your mentor. You will be very lucky if your mentor be able to explain you what you should do. He just has no time because he has a lot of tickets too. Bloomberg is chaos. If you like chaos this place is just for you. BTW please ready book "Bloomberg by Bloomberg"

      Business Outlook

      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.
