For developers, except for working in one of the infrastructure teams at Bloomberg, I heard its like going backwards. Most developers are app developers and do CRUD apps with crappy proprietary technologies and all this has to be done in tight deadlines. :) Heard from 1st, 2nd and 3rd sources.

There are roughly 3,000 people in R&D. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs in that number that are not my cup of tea. That's why I choose to work on hard problems with awesome people instead and I'm always looking for people who want the same.
From 2 internships, that's not at all a fair reflection. There are some awesome opportunities at BB and there are some issues too. It's got some old code, but the good things far outway the occasional collision with Fortran.
