Minpunten

Bloomberg's motto is: Get Things Done. You should develop your application as fast as possible. Nobody asks you about design. Nobody asks you to write any documentation. Just get things done. As the result Bloomberg has tones of spontaneously designed and not documented code. Most likely you will be hired to support this code. You will have to fix bugs and improve code which should be redesigned 10 years ago. But nobody will let you redesign it. Just get things done and fix the bug as fast as possible. Every day you will get new tickets to fix. This is the way how you will learn your project. The only way you could understand what to do is to ask your mentor. You will be very lucky if your mentor be able to explain you what you should do. He just has no time because he has a lot of tickets too. Bloomberg is chaos. If you like chaos this place is just for you. BTW please ready book "Bloomberg by 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.
