Pros

Recognisable brand, nice offices (although open space for the most part)

Cons

Lack of work life balance (team dependent), toxic management practices (partners belittling associates or pushing associates to work excessive hours, ignoring well being) that are known to and ignored by firm management.

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.
