What makes the culture at Bloomberg unique?

One of the things that makes Bloomberg culture so unique is the fact that here we are all equals. Everybody has a desk, open space, no offices, not even Michael Bloomberg has an office. You just kind of walk to him because he sits at a desk just like everybody else. And like everybody, it’s an equal. The moment you come into the building, your ideas, your impact can be exactly the same as everybody else. And that really empowers everybody to do their best and to really push the company forward, and come with ideas and with products and keep the level of quality on everything that we do really high. And that is something very unique of such a big software company that I don’t really see in other ones.
