Pros

At its inception, Bloomberg LP hired employees which did not have colleague degrees. Company spends millions of $ on summer picnics worldwide

Cons

These young people which lack leadership skills are now department heads. They make business decisions based on perception and insecurities. Bloomberg LP is not a good place to work.
