Pros

There's free beverages and the office is nice.

Cons

It's a paperwork factory and they churn through people, firing them for whatever non-existent reason they like. The people above you will blame you for every inevitable mistake, so that they can protect their own jobs, which is understandable. But, it all creates a hostile work environment something like dog-eat-dog fancy dress sweatshop.

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.
