Pros

- great benefits - great 401k - 4 weeks off with 5 days roll-over - a lot of education opportunities and classes - support exploring other jobs within the company - travel spending limits are generous

Cons

- big brother atmosphere - long days when in the office - long days and expect a lot of client meetings and travel after work hours when meeting clients - political and a lot depends on your relationship with your supervisor (if he/she likes you, you get away with a lot. If not, you don't) - limit your up-side in earnings

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.
