Bloomberg Software Engineer reviews

If you miss 80s (and I don't mean the music, but processes, culture, and technology), Bloomberg is the company for you. If you miss 90s, wait a bit, they are getting there, come in a decade or two. To get a good understanding of what to expect, listen carefully about the company's culture, but remember that in 80s those words must have meant something different: "Flexibility" means "Manage your time yourself as long as your manager can constantly see you". "Flat structure" means "open space" or maybe "flat vertical structure". "Hard-working" means "Keep yourself busy till late". "Agile" means "Micromanagement". "Innovation" means "NIH syndrome". "Risk-taking" means "If you screw up just this much ...". "Be bold" means "We've no idea what that means, but they mention it in every book".

I really enjoyed the benefits and the growth opportunities that company provided. Great job where you get a great appreciation for your skills and time spent. And first of all - the people. There are some great teams there. We were like a family together. We were not looking at each other like a competitors, but like friends. You always get the help you need and you are happy to provide help to others to help them grow and improve. Completely recommended as a first employer - you would get a lot of support and valuable skills.
