Pluspunten

I'm a senior software engineer at bloomberg and this review is my own + what I have heard from my colleagues and friends in other teams within this company. * Good compensation (only if you work 8 hrs a day which won't be the case.. normal working hours are 12 to 14 here) * Smart and intelligent people * 4 week paid vacation + medical benefit + free food

Minpunten

* You will be at your desk almost all the time.. normally ppl come at 9 and don't leave before 7. This is normal working day.. on special occasions you may have to stay even more and need to work on weekends. * They track every minute you spend in office .. we have something called PN notes and other tools to track time. You can't bill more then a day on a ticket.. if you do.. your manager yells at you. * There are no separate cubical so everybody can see everybody else.. and environment is little noisy so becomes hard to concentrate. * Managers are rude, don't respect team members.. good work won't get appreciation ever.. (and this is a culture.. this is not about specific manager). * Top management have completely failed in managing software capital.. lot of code duplications.. software pieces are scattered here and there and there is no track of it.. often you will be writing a module from scratch even though its available somewhere else. * interview process is tiresome.. they take 5-6 interviews and keep you on contracting for 1 month and that 1 month is a complete torture and then after their might be additional interview before the offer is extended !!!! TOO MUCH !!!

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.
