Pros

DLA is a global law firm with great people, top notch clients and challenging work. It is a tremendous place to practice law and people here are generally happy.

Cons

Law is a demanding profession and the work life balance issue is one that is very difficult to balance with the current law firm economic model. It's a very large firm and there are aspects of large law firms that aren't for everybody.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
