Pros

The most meritocratic company I have ever worked with. Possibility for very rapid advancement based only on performance and not prior education etc Good food/drinks and summer parties, although less so with recent cost cutting. Attractive staff and office Lot of potential for learning

Cons

Management has a tendency to change things frequently Once the learning curve flattens out, it´s not so fun Pay levels do not prevent high performing staff from moving to join their clients on the buyside/sellside

Pros

Only a five-hour-per-week time commitment, which is very manageable with my class schedule. Bloomberg provides ideas for challenges and activities to host at my school, so I would not have to come up with everything from scratch. There is flexibility to choose when I table and to tailor the role around my schedule.

Cons

The budget for the program is tight, which is frustrating because advertising to law students is exactly how Bloomberg Law builds a dedicated user base. In my opinion, whoever makes the budget is not seeing the bigger vision. A lot of attorneys may not like Bloomberg Law, use it regularly, or ask their firms to purchase a subscription simply because they were never meaningfully exposed to it in law school. This is exactly why Lexis has taken over in such a big way: its presence and budget are felt at law schools across the country. If Bloomberg wants future attorneys to become loyal users, it needs to invest more seriously in reaching students while they are still learning which legal research platforms they prefer.
