Pros

The firm cares about its personnel, and it shows in almost everything it does. Benefits are excellent. Emphasis on pro bono and community service is genuine and encouraged.

Cons

It's Big Business, on a global scale. Lean (but not quite mean), with a tight budget, getting tighter every day.

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.
