Pros

Nice colleagues, they usually hire the nicest people they can get, which makes the environment bearable Canteen is "OK", with loads of different options ( 90% very fatty, thou ) Good exposure to the financial market

Cons

Middle management has absolutely NO CLUE on how to manage people or knowledge of the best practices in the industry Irritating micro-management Lack of genuine interest for employee's growth - HR simply don't care The best thing you can learn going through the chaotic documentation is how NOT TO document anything People are encouraged to take long working hours, producing LOADS of poor quality output. Meritocracy doesn't really exist there - people are promoted for their looks and their ability to procrastinate on real issues

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.
