Pros

You get free food and drinks. summer party

Cons

Weak management. Very cliquey, Bloomberg claims to be a transparent company but nothing is further from the truth. People are very independent just worrying about their own backs careers. There is no management support all they seem to focus on is sucking up to senior managers for their own personal gains. You are not treated with any kind of respect just a commodity. The whole structure of the company breeds disloyalty mistrust and low morale. I would not advise anyone to take up a career at bloomberg it DOESNT do what it says on the tin. The only benefit i came away with was that it looks good on my CV period !

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
