Pros

the company has great business model, growing profits. Very well known brand in the market. Useful to have on your CV - if you are looking to be in the Financial Vendor space.

Cons

Great place for your 1st job & Great place for your last job. (Not in between when you want to advance your career and make money you deserve) > Company treats employees like cogs in the wheel- completely replaceable. Does not value loyalty. Treats all employees- however much experience you have- as a child in school- where you are told exactly what you should do. On the outside it prides on being a transparent organization- with its missive GLASS building/office interiors without cabins- however in terms of Compensation and career growth- its as opaque as it gets. Run by a bunch of old school Men, company only TALKS about diversity and inclusion- (alot) - but in reality its believe system is very chauvinistic. Owner believes in Charity- and most profits are drained into philanthropic activities under his name- very little is given back to the employees in terms of salary increases/bonuses.

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.
