Pros

Great clients, interesting and challenging work, colleagues who I truly enjoy working with, and a lot of autonomy to develop my practice at my own pace and timeline. I appreciate that they don't force us all into the same trajectory or mold.

Cons

Sometimes the hours get crazy, but I think that's par for the course in litigation, and the hours never seem as bad as what my counterparts are dealing with.

Pros

Pay is pretty good, health insurance is solid, and PTO is decent.

Cons

Management wasn’t supportive and expectations kept changing. The marketing team had really high turnover and things never felt stable. Workloads were heavy and it often felt like you were just expected to deal with constant shifts without much guidance or help.
