Pros

Good sales regiment (plenty of training) Learn indepth finance (like a mini-CFA) Lots of young, smart, motivated people Decent starting salary (analytics) Good work/life balance (in larger offices, like NYC) Good benefits

Cons

Company as a whole has plateaued and 'sales' does not really exist Very bureaucratic, plenty of people telling you what to do Clear line between management and non-management (lots of 'private internal meetings') Salary flattens out and veterans get a sense that they are being pushed out (as nobody is ever really 'fired') Smaller offices are over engineered - smallest amount of power gets to management's teeny tiny little head 8-6pm contract typically means "7:30am - don't be the first to leave" Business model is flawed now that other firms are essentially delivering the same technology for much less

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.
