Pros
- young crowd and will make lots of friends very quickly who will help/support you through thick and thin for many years to come - tech vibe, open floor plan, easy-to-approach senior management - very structured work day and clear idea of what is expected of you; easy to succeed if you are good at following instructions - abundance of resources to self learn about a variety of different topics - great employee benefits and perks
Cons
- inflexible schedule, in Analytics your schedule is literally clocked by the hour; your badge-in and badge-out time is recorded and shown on your bio page - mediocre middle management - you will get very bored with the structured day after a few years and the alternative is zig-zag career progression - if you want to feel like a market participant, this is not the firm for you -- most market players don't take Bloomberg very seriously
