Vantaggi
- Gave me a chance although I didn't have much on my CV, beyond a university degree. - Full of clever people (do they hire anything other than Oxbridge students?) who are passionate about the energy industry and the challenges of moving to a low carbon future. - Very busy work environment - you're unlikely to get bored. - Part of the Bloomberg group and all the perks that go with it (nice office, a lot of media exposure, etc)
Svantaggi
- Salaries are generally low and tailored to the type of people they hire ie, not very experienced. Staff turnover is quite high as most people leave after 2-3 year stints in the company. - The business has essentially stalled since its acquisition by Bloomberg in late 2009 owing to a very difficult environment (oversupplied European carbon market, focus away from climate change issues, etc). Don't expect great pay rises every year. - BNEF is sometimes biased about low carbon energy and keeps talking up the market - not always justified in my view. A lot of "predictions" for carbon price that we made over the years have proven wildly wrong.
