          Pros

          They hire very nice, intelligent hardworking people. Safety is covered at every meeting. Responsible and modern workplace. You get to work on challenging projects that are critical to our world. You get to learn about and work in the EPC industry, many engineering disciplines, and project management. Their intern program was great and very well-organized.

          Cons

          Dressing business casual every day is tiring, but at least with good reason. IT support for software engineering-related tasks is frustratingly slow. Your work isn't super exciting like a startup, but they are innovative in areas and that may be what people are looking for. The amount of meetings is out-of hand. Meeting times can go over 1 hour when they shouldn't. Project managers are consistently in meetings which makes it hard to reach out to them.

        Interview Tips

        Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

        Administrative Assistant

        I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.

        Hey all, I’m looking for advice on program manager hypothetical interviews such as: “what would you do if X happened?” Is there a particular thing or core value that Bloomberg looks for? Thanks!
