Every day, trillions of dollars pass through the Bloomberg Terminal. As a result, hundreds of thousands of financial professionals rely on our 500 enterprise applications to manage their portfolios, execute their trades and analyse the markets.
On the MARS team, we embody the Bloomberg spirit. Our people and projects are dynamic, and we move at a fast pace.
