Pluspunten

Extensive and rigorous financial markets and Bloomberg product training in the first few months. Get to do a lot of problem solving and customer service. Michael Bloomberg seems like a great guy.

Minpunten

Notorious for extreme micromanagement. Structure creates a situation where direct managers are God. Famous for being a "Meritocracy", but what they actually mean is "Monoculture". They promote on the basis of your fit which supposedly includes performance, but more accurately, cultural fit. Cultural fit largely means being liked by your manager. If you are the type of person who can drink the Koolaid, do as your told without question, tow the party line, brown nose etc. You can be Moulded into a Bloombot and fit right in. However if you are an independent thinker, creative, risk-taking, and god forbid; a bit eccentric. You will probably struggle (not to say you can't succeed. It just makes it much much harder).

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
