Pros

Bloomberg takes care of its employees, from free snacks to an generous HR policies, it's a great place to work. 4 weeks vacation to start! Also there is a wide variety of people from Finance analysts to R&D with varied backgrounds and experiences. There is no one bucket employees come from (though there tend to be too many MBA's in my opinion)

Cons

The company is too focused on its terminal business and your year end bonus depends mostly on that divisions performance (it's a large part of the business). Most procedures are made with the terminal business in mind and most of your work is performed using the terminal (even email).

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.
