Pros

Provides ample of opportunities to work on challenging technology centric problems (low latency, large scale). There is strong emphasis on providing outstanding services to customers. Compensation and benefits are better compared to peers. Ample opportunities for meaningful engagement in community volunteer projects as well.

Cons

This is a fast paced environment, with a great emphasis on team work. Job requires 'thinking like owner' and full engagement in all aspects of the work. This mode may not be suitable for everyone. Working from home is possible only in exceptional circumstances.

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.
