Pros
Bloomberg is a very fast-paced company, the only constant at Bloomberg is change. We value innovation, we enourage people to step out of their comfort zone, take calculated risk, so long as you have the key stakeholders on board, it can be done right away - benefits of being a privately owned company! I worked at a couple of banks before joining Bloomberg, I've moved on to do different roles at Bloomberg within the last 6 years, I'm still learning everyday! Everyone is given opportunity to shine, it's up to the individual to take it or leave it. This company truly values people, especially top performers, there is clear distinction in compensation between top and average performers for the same role. Now is a great time to be with a well-established Fin-Tech company!
Cons
Bloomberg has a very distinct company culture, no one had any title and it is very transparent, the career path here is totally non-traditional, one day you can be managing a team, tomorrow you could be asked to be an individual contributor in another role (which isn't considered a demotion but the contrary). Some may find it too overwhelming and in your face, especially you have worked elsewhere before, it might take you some time to digest, accept, try to fit in. Often you will know within the first 6months to a year if you will stay or leave. The company values loyalty, there are many home grown talents, whose only job in their life is Bloomberg, however some of them might lack maturity and all they know is the Bloomberg way. The fact that the company is able to bring in people with external experience, it keeps the company competitive and challenges the status quo.
