Bloomberg careers


Bloomberg is a great organization which really takes care of its employees. The purpose of this post is to highlight few things which remain under cover and do not make in talking terms. Bloomberg offers real career with immense training ranging on its product to commucations to environment. You can argue that every company gives training, I will not challenge that. Lets concentrate on following then:

- Annual Party in Dubai (for Middle East and Southeast Asia including India). I know companies which have similar program but partly paid. Bloomberg bears all costs including flights, 5 star stay and meals.

- Shifting to other departments. Believe me, no company can give such flexibility in terms of long term career within organization.

- Medical policy. Essentially it covers all medical expenses including normal doctor visit.

- Pantry. You can find soft drinks, chocolates, waffers, fruits and juices free of cost for employees and visitors. I personally love it!

- Truely multi national culture

- Only meritocracy

If you are inspired to apply to Bloomberg, you can give my reference (only for benefits of my readers).

Facebook launches Timeline for Android, and mobile web

Facebook Timeline was rolled out globally yesterday, and now, the social networking giant has announced the Timeline interface will be available on the Facebook for Android app, as well as on its mobile portal – m.facebook.com.

According to Facebook, the mobile Timeline is a interface that “starts with your unique cover photo. As you scroll down, you’ll see your posts, photos and life events as they happened, back to the day you were born. Photo albums and other posts are horizontally swipeable, so you can quickly view multiple photos or posts inline without leaving timeline. You can also swipe through the views at the top of your timeline to navigate to your map, photos, subscribers and more.”

Apart from photo albums, maps showing the friends you are linked with, and your subscribers, users can show which apps they are using. Users will have 7 days to preview their timeline before it goes public, and in that time, they can decide what to highlight, and who will be able to see it.

You can download the new Facebook for Android app, from here.
