Pros
- Bloomberg literally pay you for your first 6 months to study and then following that they are willing to sponsor further learning be it a masters, CFA, CAIA, etc. - in Analytics specifically you learn a lot in a short space of time - The working hours are not nearly as bad as in other financial firms. - Unlimited pantry snacks - The office is a lovely space I think people generally do have misconceptions about the opportunities here. Yes it’s not a full on financial firm however if getting there is your end goal, Bloomberg can certainly help and is a great place to start
Cons
- In your first 6 months you can’t work from home. After 6 months you get 1 day WFH and 2 days after a year. - more than your day job is expected of you in terms of participating in philanthropic efforts which not everyone may care for
