Pros

- Nice office with many fish tanks - Free snacks in pantry - Always hiring - willing to hire people with little or not experience - work with smart people - Free evening finance training course offered by Bloomberg University - Excellent summer party, but no Christmas party

Cons

- Below average pay. You might get higher initial salary, but it won't increase much after that. - Micromanagement - Long hours (My manager usual work hour is 7am-6pm) - Bonus is heavily weighted on company and department performance. Therefore, if your department sucks, you won't get much bonus no matter how good you are. - Flat corporate structure and hard to advance. Average 5-10 years to become team lead and 10-20 years to become manager - Small desk spaces

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.
