Last time I was in the Bloomberg building much of their Dev Dept was underground, and they have a neon art display which is supposed to simulate a sunset, or natural light, or something.

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.



Not sure what you're talking about. The "underground" lower level is all conference / presentation rooms. No one works there. The simulated sunlight you're referring to is a large art piece installation in the building and the creator chose to simulate light as he saw it during a particular sunset (in Arizona IIRC? It's been a while...)

Check out the new SF office we opened up if you're looking for a more West coast feel.


I stand corrected. It was really too long ago (+4 years), I should really have double checked my thoughts before posting. Gracias!
