Pros

Access to training and education, cool office, free snacks, excellent benefits, some great people

Cons

I worked here for many years, and wanted this to be the company I'd really turn into my lifetime career. The office is amazing with their free snacks and tons of perks, but after a while you realize its all there because everything else associated with working there is LITERALLY miserable. They give you great vacation time (4 weeks to start), but trust me you will need every single day of those 4 weeks just to avoid ending up in a padded room in a mental institution. I made some amazing friends here, but there are SO many people who are honestly clueless about how to manage people and/or how to interact with clients. For every action taken there are 52 internal meetings and 15 procedures that are old and do not work. You will spend half of your energy fighting internal battles just to get a YES or NO answer. Unless you literally want to use this as a "stepping stone", are looking for something to beef up your resume for a year, or if you have no interpersonal skills and can't find any other job - then stay away.

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.
