Pluspunten

Excellent pay and benefits. The free soda and snacks are nice and the annual summer party is a treat. You do get free admission and/or discounts to a lot of good places!

Minpunten

Noisy!! You not only write software, but you are expected to fully own all aspects of it. That means you configure it, deploy it, support it, etc. (24/7) You are expected to produce software very, very quickly, but are denegrated if it does not meet future (and unplanned) demand. Terrible management who have a strong tendency to micro-manage. A truly surprising amount of bureaucracy and politics. Only certain groups are expected to develop infrastructure, everyone else is supposed to just bang applications together. They do not use Boost!

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.
