Pros

- pantry full of snacks - free breakfast - modern office -visa sponsorship

Cons

1) I would strongly not recommend this job to Finance graduates (especially Masters in Finance), as you will not be able to practice your skills, gain valuable and transferrable knowledge. This job can be done by any school graduate, you don't need to know anything about finance, financial markets and even terminal itself: they provide training about what is stock and bond and teach you how to use terminal in a couple of weeks. All skills that you develop is cold-calling (or annoying people with promoting minor terminal upgrades, like adding a new button to IB chat) and terminal knowledge. 2) Most managers are randomly appointed to their positions and lack financial/managerial or any relevant post-graduate education. You cannot learn anything from your manager. 3) low morale (as people after 6m-1y starts to look for new job and everyone understands it) 4) dull, stressful and repetitive nature of work: you either respond in Bloomberg help chat to repetitive questions from clients or do cold calling. This repeats every day. When I left Sales&Analytics and joined another role and new company, I realised that year I spent at Bloomberg was a waste of time and complete degradation of skills.
