Pros

Large organization *does* give some internal flexibility to move around.

Cons

Very little focus on employee welfare, abysmal HR department, events thrown for employees are on-site, with a 'pot-luck' system (v. rare to have food brought in). Pay is poor, morale is poor, no real corporate culture, head management uses employees as means to an end, and doesn't hide this fact. Rampant favoritism for certain employees who contribute *very* little to the organization.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
