Pros

Medical Benefits Lateral movement Free Food Good Working Environment Encourages collaboration

Cons

You can progress your role into manager and even higher but if you plan to have a career in finance or quantitative analytics, it might be a challenge or will take a long time. Your role can progress but your career will be stagnant and be stuck in customer service. Admin/Customer Service disguised as "Analyst" Job. Claim to be a tech company but relies heavily on Excel. If Microsoft takes out Excel, Bloomberg will shut down along with the world market that relies on Bloomberg data. Not a finance job but a financial product ambassador; people do modelling and financial analysis but it is just to make "clients" have ease of use and show more functionality for the terminal. Analyst/Analytics here is synonymous to knowing what the client/customer needs and not necessarily include any quantitative analysis. Might be less than 5% that quantitative analysis will be required for an Analyst job.
