Pros

Provide great health and 401k benefits, free food, $75 daily COVID stipend for traveling etc

Cons

Team leaders and managers dont know what theyre doing, the pay is HORRIBLe and everyone is leaving because of it, which makes the lives of people who are still here even worse as work load continues to increase due to mass exodus with management working really slow to find replacements. basically, at this point, everyone is looking for a way out and people are only here while they are on their own job hunts. Maybe new hires might get competitive pay but people who have stuck around get really bad pay, with horrible increases each year. For reference, my current job on the street can make 40-50k more than what i make at bloomberg. They take advantage of young adults in their 20s and trap them in with this notion of a great company but then once youre hired, never looked at again for meaningful salary increases. If the current rate continues, Bloomberg wont have any employees with useful knowledge, and subject matter experts left. Theres a reason theres a mass exodusy They have also forced return to office for people in global data which is not necessary. They are not flexible with you working from different offices either, despite managemet emails claiming them to be. Currently, you have to go into the office 3 days a week, and as with everything at BLoomberg, your calendars are tracked and management is notified when you dont do this. If youre looking for a flexible working experience, Bloomberg is not the answer for you.

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.
