Vantaggi

The offices are widely-heralded as cool places to work, from fish tanks to snacks. As leadership will tell you, they print money every year.

Svantaggi

Leadership talks nonstop about how the organization is printing money, but goes out of their way to avoid paying competitive salaries. The primary method the use to get out of this is by putting pay increases into bonuses instead of real salary increases. The end result is working for a year with hopes of the bonus, which isn't guaranteed. The organization is very large and very segmented. They use only proprietary tools, which get in the way of collaboration and make it impossible to find cross-business owners and remove blockers to projects. Leadership organization-wide is by attrition (meaning most leaders are only in their roles because better candidates have left), which has contributed to a significantly white male leadership team. We frequently hear comments from leaders implying women in leadership positions are only promoted to avoid a perceived diversity issue, and not by merit.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
