Pluspunten

Large organization with a global presence, benefits and snacks are generous.

Minpunten

You'll notice that all the 4 and 5 star reviews are from junior employees with less than 2 years at the firm or from H1B's glad to have a job, they're enamored by the free snacks and sponsorship. I've been with them for over a decade and have gotten to see this company get worse over the years. It used to be a great company that looked after its employees, but over last 2 years they have been looking to get rid of anyone with a decent salary and tenure. Have been replacing with kids out of college at a fraction of the salary and zero experience then working them to death, turnover is staggering with very high numbers of new recruits leaving within the first 2 years. Sales managers have almost no experience of selling and are promoted only for their micro management prowess. Sales targets are ridiculous and they count net performance, that means that salesperson takes a hit for any removals, but gets NO credit for renewals. Sales is blamed for every removal even though product teams have not developed a decent product in almost a decade, and are obsessed with growing revenue even though there is no new product/service to help in the growth. So their strategy has been to double/triple/quadruple prices for existing services which makes it extremely difficult to have any new sales discussion with this clients, then blame is laid upon the sales force for not hitting ridiculous targets.

Pluspunten

Opportunities to do lots of work with data and finance to apply knowledge in both programming and Subject-Matter Expertise (SME). Excellent Work-Life Balance (WLB) and extremely welcoming culture. You can reach out to anyone for help or just to talk, and they will get back to you (although management does require more scheduling in advance). Generous compensation (good wage) and benefits, including housing for interns. If you heard the rumors that the Bloomberg Princeton office has a great Bloomberg Pantry (read: company-provided breakfast and lunch), the rumors are true.

Minpunten

Not the place for those looking for cutting-edge AI. The company is not as fast with AI as the company prioritizes reliability and accuracy above all, and much of AI is not at an acceptable threshold for management to be willing to take that risk with financial data (at least in 2026). You may get a project to automate menial processes, which is really cool, but that tends to involve actually doing the menial processes, which feels unproductive. Princeton office is good but New York is considered preferable. Coworkers are not very reachable outside of work hours. Compensation is low in Data compared to Software Engineers.
