Pluspunten

There is free food and snacks consistently at your disposal. The organization is big on volunteering and philanthropic endeavors so working here will afford you the opportunity to make an impact on other people’s lives outside of the company. That’s the full extent of the benefits in my opinion.

Minpunten

Now here are the cons: First, take heed to many of the comments written about managers. Many managers currently in place have moved up the pipeline through connections or likability - not through grit or hard work. In addition, your initial manager will define your success or failure before you step foot in the door so my advice, make sure to do some vetting before you accept an offer here. Second, while the company is great at tackling challenges outside of the organization, there is a significant amount of work to be done on diversity and inclusion front. Let me explain: If you are a cis White male, you will have countless opportunities at your disposal even if you lack the education, experience or credentials. Leadership within the organization is akin to a fraternity where you’re accepted based on whether you’re liked by management and not by how hard you work. This moves me to my next point - women and minorities in leadership. Of the 19k+ employees worldwide, Black employees make up less than 3.8% of the workforce. Latino demographics are slightly higher perhaps by a base point or two. Asians account for roughly 7-8% I believe. While you will see minorities scattered throughout the organization, the reality that few of them achieve leadership success within the organization is certainly true. For women of color, especially Black women of color, the harsh reality is even fewer achieve leadership success despite many of them having stellar performance reviews and tenured experience. Retention for women and minorities is even more of a joke. Countless number of women and minorities are leaving the company because of the cis white male hegemony present within the organization.

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.
