Vantaggi
The company does try to do it best BUT it does not trust people so every one has a metric and in essence feels like a metric.
Svantaggi
As the top guy of any chain makes ALL the decisions is impossible to feel empowered. They talk a about the Bloomberg Culture , harder , faster and smarter but they miss the exact point of what makes a leader ie true independence to make decisions . Managers and Senior Manager walk around preaching the Bloomberg Culture but in truth they have no say at all. They just follow , the company has no notion of leadership because it simply does not trust people .Most decision are made at the top of the organisation , the rest of the structure just nods , this is the true culture. The pay is ranked accordingly , as no one makes decision you are just paid to nod . The guy who nods the most and follows orders is the one that gets promoted. As real decisions are not even the pay grade of Heads of Sales the actual financial opportunities are limited for any one that can actually do sales or management very well. Its a shame but the above is summarised by the fact that: a) No employee every returns to work at Bloomberg, surprising given 10000 plus b) Managers literally go grey taking others orders but feel as though they have little value to other companies - so they stay to take the pay check
