Pros

The attorneys who worked in my office were good attorneys and very nice people. Had all the legal support (paralegals, word processing support, legal assistants) befitting a large law firm.

Cons

No cohesive corporate culture. Split personalities from office to office with no sense of the larger whole. Felt as though my particular office was totally on its own. No connection to any other office, either in the US or across the globe.

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.
