Pros

Incredibly smart and kind colleagues, lots of perks (especially for NYCers).

Cons

As Mike steps back the bureaucracy is gradually eating away at everything that made this company special. I used to feel valued and empowered to make a difference - in the end, I was just a cog. I get the RTO policy, and that’s 100% the company’s right, but it would have been nice if someone in HR or management actually gave a fig when I had to give up a job and team I loved to take care of my family. No ‘thanks for a decade of hard work’, no ‘sorry it turned out this way’, no ‘good luck with your family issues’ - virtually no official communication at all, not even an exit interview. If it weren’t for my immediate supervisors I would have felt like so much garbage dumped at the curb. So incredibly disappointing from a place I once cared about so deeply.

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.
