Pros

Snacks, generous health benefits, 401k match is good

Cons

Bloomberg's best days as a high-growth tech firm are way behind it as clients continually look for ways to get rid of terminals; passive investing is getting more popular, eliminating the need for a high-priced terminal that often functions like a high-priced chat service; news department is beholden to big clients that quash stories; HR department is a joke -- constantly making mistakes; not friendly to women. Never worked with a pregnant woman, probably because family is forbidden.

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.
