>Sigh. Bloomberg-er here -- this article is old.
Why be offended, rather than excited to get to come in here and to expound on what you do for a living? It's what makes the comment section great.

IMO, comment sections aren't really a great place for discoverable information, so maybe I'm thinking more in-depth posts need to be created that actually peek behind the curtain a bit so they are ranked better when searching. Right now, you can only glean information about certain areas/technologies from individuals that represent them if you know where to look. e.g. Here's a recent video interview with Matt Hunt from our Portfolio Analytics team regarding some of their problems/infrastructure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMj2V3U4J3k
They could change that perception with being more open about how they go about developing software (like their GitHub account). But these article showing up every one and a while goes against their efforts hence why I can see why OP may get annoyed about it.
Sure, visiting Bloomberg and getting the tour leaves you with a wonderful expression, but those that I know that have worked there in the past wouldn't compare the work environment to Google.
Bloomberg is much more of an "East Coast" company, and feels like it.
Having said that, I had a Bloomberg Terminal subscription for five years. I friggin' loved it. Regardless of whatever might be behind the screen, it's still an amazing, powerful, gorgeous tool. I miss my B-Unit, oh so badly.
Check out the new SF office we opened up if you're looking for a more West coast feel.
