Vantaggi

- Good salary - Super relaxed - No pressure

Svantaggi

- Everyone I worked with who had career aspirations have left. Everyone who just wants a good work life balance stays (so the average age is quite high) - Some arrogant managers and favouritism. - There is no career progression for developers and this is by design. - Managers and team leads have little to no people skills. They are technically strong but are very unskilled at people management and coaching. You will be managed by good project managers who are technically strong and have no idea how to grow and coach people because they are chosen for their project management skills and not people skills. - The mobile app is a secondary product that the rest of the business doesn't care about so you are always working on something secondary and insignificant to clients. - You will be working on a legacy codebase that is huge and moves very slowly with so much bureaucracy

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
