Pros

If you are early in your career and can sacrifice a year, the name will look great on your resume. Tons of unhealthy processed snacks & fruit

Cons

Every single moment is micromanaged from the moment you enter the building or log in to the terminal. This is not a company where you could be yourself. If you have a corporate background and are a by the book person you might do well here, but if you enjoy a healthy work environment where there is support and flexibility this is not the place for you. They have an open desk space and require you to come in the office 3 days a week. Employees are constantly getting COVID. Instead of doing something about this either changing the floor plan, alternating days to come in so theres never too many people in the office at the same time, they just believe "you'll get through it" words used by a manager here. Not to mention you will be expected to use your own laptop while you work from home. This company generating millions a day expects thier employees to use their own laptops for work. They believe its a privilege for you to work there and will treat you as such. If you want more than a company doing bare minimum for you, this is not the place for you.

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.
