Pros

Good compensation for associate attorneys.

Cons

The work hours expected were much longer than HR expressed when I was interviewing with the firm. The firm culture emphasizes getting as many cases processed as possible, rather than spending a lot of time on visa applications. The firm tends to push employees in to performing one type of work rather than teaching employees how to process many different types of visas.

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.
