Pros

Free Unhealthy Snacks Good Annual Leave Policy

Cons

Still adhering to the outdated Victorian model of factory management, the company maintains an excessively high level of micromanagement. The seating arrangement is deliberately designed to ensure constant visibility of employees' screens by managers. Despite promoting environmental consciousness with slogans like "Save the Planet" and "Go Green," the company insists on employees commuting to work daily, resulting in fuel consumption. The weekly one-on-one meetings with managers are more of a source of torment than actual assistance. Managers and team leaders diligently monitor daily assignments and perform quality control, which unfortunately means that exemplary performance goes unrewarded, while even the smallest mistakes result in intense scrutiny. Salaries offered by the company are notably low, and the development of transferable skills is virtually nonexistent. Consequently, it becomes increasingly challenging to explore external job opportunities with the limited skill set acquired at Bloomberg. Moreover, the presence of numerous inept individuals, unintentionally confined to their positions, who lack awareness of the outside world, further exacerbates the company's issues. As a consequence, the company experiences a distressingly high attrition rate.

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.
