Pros

(a) Good international knowledge system. (b) In most teams, work-life balance was respected.

Cons

(a) Non-competitive salary; also the firm did not uphold its commitment to pay uplift in wages. (b) The Brussels office comprised mostly of Belgian lawyers, while the international element was quite limited. In this respect, the firm was not helpful at all to assist international associates with the relocation process. (c ) The firm does not have a firm policy in dealing with mobbing and does not hold partners accountable for abusing their position.

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.
