Pros

If you want a stable job and just want to spend everyday in the same tedious way, Bloomberg LP is the right place to go. They usually dont fire people, and the work there is just daily routine stuff that doesnt require any intelligence.

Cons

Very not productive environment. If you want to test something, you usually have to wait for 30 minutes before you get approval for access certain machines. A lot of fortran/c code written by some non computer science background people 10 years ago. You will spend days debugging those junk code if there's a bug.

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.
