Pluspunten

If you miss 80s (and I don't mean the music, but processes, culture, and technology), Bloomberg is the company for you. If you miss 90s, wait a bit, they are getting there, come in a decade or two. To get a good understanding of what to expect, listen carefully about the company's culture, but remember that in 80s those words must have meant something different: "Flexibility" means "Manage your time yourself as long as your manager can constantly see you". "Flat structure" means "open space" or maybe "flat vertical structure". "Hard-working" means "Keep yourself busy till late". "Agile" means "Micromanagement". "Innovation" means "NIH syndrome". "Risk-taking" means "If you screw up just this much ...". "Be bold" means "We've no idea what that means, but they mention it in every book".

Minpunten

If you are looking for an internship or your first job, and money is your only motivation, then go to Bloomberg.

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.
