Pros

You get free food and drinks. summer party

Cons

Weak management. Very cliquey, Bloomberg claims to be a transparent company but nothing is further from the truth. People are very independent just worrying about their own backs careers. There is no management support all they seem to focus on is sucking up to senior managers for their own personal gains. You are not treated with any kind of respect just a commodity. The whole structure of the company breeds disloyalty mistrust and low morale. I would not advise anyone to take up a career at bloomberg it DOESNT do what it says on the tin. The only benefit i came away with was that it looks good on my CV period !

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.
