Pros

The biggest pro of the firm is its culture and how everyone is made to feel valuable and part of a team working towards a common objective.

Cons

The biggest con of the firm is, as a global law firm, the difficulty in ensuring consistent quality across its network of relationship firms.

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.
