Bloomberg has a reputation in the media world as being a very conservative company to work for. I have a relative who worked for them, and while the pay and perks were solid (thanks in large part to Bloomberg's successful terminal business) you can never criticize the company once you leave owing to a very restrictive NDA tied to severance.

There is also, as the NYT put it, "an entrenched culture of bullying, where women are often objectified and sometimes face discrimination, according to interviews with more than a dozen former employees, as well as lawsuits and internal corporate documents."

For CityLab supporters, I would be very concerned about the way it's being absorbed into the Bloomberg mother ship. There won't be much independence to ask hard questions when buttoned-down Bloomberg lifers are brought in to keep the kids in line and global multinationals like Hyundai are footing the bill.
