Pros

Nice office. People on my team are quite competent. Free snacks and drinks. Total compensation is pretty good. The company is rapidly growing recently. Good place to work for programmers.

Cons

Work/life balance is not very good on my team: often people work at least 10 hours a day. Priority on my project is about making something for delivery rather than correct code. In the future maintenance would be a problem. Company is too relying on the arcane terminal to run their internal operations.

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.
