Pros

Free chips and soda, if you work long hours and work for 1.5 persons man hours, you will get 10k bonus

Cons

They make you work 10 to 12 hours and pay only 8 hrs for consultants, crappy architecture, any one line of java code you change, you are using free jetty and it takes 30 minutes to builds the project.Why can;t they use websphere/RAD, which picks up hot deploymenyt automatically I wonder if the great mayor knows about this bad practises. Somebody should take action No balance between work life and personal life

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.
