              Pros

              Fantastic benefits and exposure for career starter or someone wanting work life balance.

              Insufficient depth of a finance career développement. Ironically bureaucratic and political despite the intentional flat structure.

                  Nice friendly colleagues to work with

                  Cons

                  The management in Asia is too localized it doesn’t even feel like working for a US based company. Too much micro management and unfair treatment towards their employees. Your opinions and voices are unheard and get shut down immediately. There is no such thing as logical reasoning behind every “No”s and demands. Unless this type of middle management gets improved, it will be very hard to say that there is a flexible and consistent Bloomberg culture across ALL offices. They need to realize keeping their current employees happy is the real way to save costs, not replacing them.

                    Bloomberg has really a great flat culture - where you can reach out to any managers you see in pantry and have a catchup

                    Cons

                    there are too many departments and team involved in your daily work, a bit tough to collaborate

                        Long hours, they don’t ever want you to leave hence the food they provide. Depends on your manager, some micromanage to the dot. Since the company is super transparent, everyone can see your appointments, when you enter the office, when you leave the office etc. Apac hours are ridiculous, you only cater to emea and amer
