Business outlook
Pros
Worked with some very smart IP attorneys, was very involved in the prosecution of patents. Nice events, and food. Decent benefits (however, low pay compared to similar jobs).
Cons
Management Lacks appropriate leadership staff to effectively train, support, and retain legal support staff. Training for the favored and inconsistent. Too focused on the billable hourd instead of understanding of concepts and quality of work product. Management micromanages basic tasks like starting and ending a shift, requesting time off, lunch breaks, yet expects self direction when faced with more complex issues, creating stressful situations with no real support. It is not uncommon to work overtime to complete projects.
