Pros

-Great pay, definitely reward top performers - Great benefits (paid healthcare and plenty of PTO) - Pantry full of free food and snacks - Work with very talented people - Extensive training - Everyone in mgmt is very nice

Cons

- There are a lot of office favorites. Some employees enjoy a lot more flexibility than others, regardless of performance. Very inconsistent standards given on employee by employee basis - Office politics. Only suiting for a large company with a DC office - No real career advancement. Once you take a job, you might have one more title that you can move to but thats about it. Mgmt positions don't open much and when they do, they are given to favorites (not performance based). Several employees will leave BGov to move to a different part of BLP for advancement - Very regimented. Management wants to push the idea of collaboration but it's only done to make you feel heard. No real execution from there or opportunity to learn from other departments on what makes a business go. - Lack of drive. Large deals are to be had, but mgmt is more concerned about following the rules than getting more revenue. Lots of red tape - Top performers are rewarded with cut down territories, more red tape, and less flexibility.

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.
