Pros

The DLA Piper office is very modern and has excellent facilities. The canteen is the best canteen I have experienced at any workplace. The majority of people at the company are lovely and they do seem to invest in care and benefits for staff.

Cons

The salary that I received at the time was not competitive. Also, at the time (pre-COVID), there did seem to be a lot of emphasis on being in the office everyday and not leaving "before the boss". There was not a lot of flexibility at least on my team. This might be different now.

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.
