Pros

- Decent Frat culture - Good people and have meet close friends. Everyone at the bottom is in the same boat. - Get stepping stone into another career or world. - Look if you need a job. Accept it but ready to leave at soon you get that next call.

Cons

- Please have an exit plan if your going into any role at BBG - Horrible pay for any role in Princeton - Treat you like dog Sh5%T. - little to no growth - Mike and the boys at the top - if you are remotely ambitious about your career and future do not go! - the turnover is absolutely unreal. I have about 10 years of experience and worked for several funds. I developed a good network. Never before in my life have I seen the level of turnover here. Pretty much everyone leaves. - Management is all politics -they hire you with this fancy training and work but in reality they hire a monkey to do this work. YOU DO NOT NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE TO WORK IN GLOBAL DATA. - Pay is below average. If you think its decent ask any of your friends what they are making! - Management in global data has absolutely no idea what is going on. Huge political roadshow. - WORKING AT BBG CAN BRING YOU CAREER RISK AS WELL BECAUSE FINANCE IS A SMALL WORLD AND PEOPLE TALK. - They will come ready to backstab you if you don't do the thing you want. - Retirement options are garbage (trust me I worked at other companies). There are only about 5 investment options lol - You are working with a ton of type C people. - I know this is a lot but I would strongly that you reconsider your options please!

Great company, in this role you have the chance to learn about the financial markets, the terminal, and also you get client exposure.

Not really cons, culture is great.

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.
