Pros

Provide great health and 401k benefits, free food, $75 daily COVID stipend for traveling etc

Cons

Team leaders and managers dont know what theyre doing, the pay is HORRIBLe and everyone is leaving because of it, which makes the lives of people who are still here even worse as work load continues to increase due to mass exodus with management working really slow to find replacements. basically, at this point, everyone is looking for a way out and people are only here while they are on their own job hunts. Maybe new hires might get competitive pay but people who have stuck around get really bad pay, with horrible increases each year. For reference, my current job on the street can make 40-50k more than what i make at bloomberg. They take advantage of young adults in their 20s and trap them in with this notion of a great company but then once youre hired, never looked at again for meaningful salary increases. If the current rate continues, Bloomberg wont have any employees with useful knowledge, and subject matter experts left. Theres a reason theres a mass exodusy They have also forced return to office for people in global data which is not necessary. They are not flexible with you working from different offices either, despite managemet emails claiming them to be. Currently, you have to go into the office 3 days a week, and as with everything at BLoomberg, your calendars are tracked and management is notified when you dont do this. If youre looking for a flexible working experience, Bloomberg is not the answer for you.

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.
