Good: The Name
Bad: Management, high retention, low salary, repetitious and hours.

a typical day at work- from start to finish it is nonstop all day long work. There is always something to do from answering emails, tickets, incoming and outgoing calls, helping your manager or co-workers, to doing your own actual work.
what i learned- i learned to multi task in a fast pace, multi cultural environment.
management- this all depends on – more... the individual or dept. i have had different managers who had their own way of doing things. You just had to learn to adjust to their way.
co-workers - they came and went, but for the most part easy to get along with
hardest part of the job- the ever changing policies from day to day. The company was constantly growing and always been fast paced. And with that growth, there were constant changes, sometimes even on a daily, or hour by hour basis.
The most enjoyable part of the day- Lunch time and going home! – less

While working at Bloomberg, the team and I were responsible for working on a Brazilian project. Even tho the position was temporary it gave me a chance to learn a lot.

Typical day is stressful in a nutshell. People are overworked to the point of exhaustion. You are expected to be available at all times and are required to meet deadlines that are completely unrealistic causing massive rush jobs. Company is more concerned with getting something out the door instead of planning it properly from the ground up.

If you are considering leaving a banking job don't do it. The skills you acquire at Bloomberg are only useful at Bloomberg. You will not have a useful pivot if/when you are ready to move on.

Worked in Analytics - great place to start a career, but most analytics reps have a shelf life of two years before they slog it out in sales or leave. Most go back to school or jump to PE/IB. Management structure is confused - lots of middle managers, so a lot is said but little is done. TL (team leader) reports to manager (either fixed income or equity – more... manager) who then reports to N. America manager who then reports to department manager - total mess. NO PRIVACY - all glass walls/open floorplan means you have no privacy. – less

working for s.e.a.l. security as a security officer for Bloomberg LLP was a great experience,as well as working with a good,professional staff.

Bloomberg has an incredible collections of exceptional professionals working behind a valuable products. The company culture gives space for a well professional and personal life.

No chance of advancement, help from HR or recognition from management.

it all depends which team you will end up with.
there is very little room for advancement, people who work there for years usually are in managerial positions, becoming a team lead is as good as it gets. there is no culture, everyone is on their own.

Senior management in the technology can be very volatile. Highly distrustful of employees leaving the company. Overall experience is great if you can find the right team, but can be equally horrendous with the wrong team.

I worked at Bloomberg Headquarters in New York, NY. It's a fun place to work. Always busy, competitive, coworkers were helpful.

Learned a lot from my association which will be helpful for my career.

- work heavily with excel.
- a lot of interaction with supervisor and team members.
- the hardest part of the job is probably the repetitious of the work perform.

Great people and friendly environment. I enjoyed working with the different departments. It was helpful in learning the different languages.

This is a good place to get exposure to the financial industry and pursue a career in sales.

Great company to work for. Good work life balance. Learning enviroment
