Pure misery - much worse being an associate at a law firm
Pros
Very competitive salary for Seattle market
Cons
- Workload and work/life balance (was even worse than being at a big law firm) - Inadequate training - Uninteresting work (get ready to spend your days writing disclaimers) - Few perks - Unsupportive environment with virtually no secretarial or paralegal support - Cramped, noisy and dark offices - Endless goal setting and review processes that keep you from doing your work - Dishonest personnel misrepresented the nature of the job and the benefit/compensation packages I would be given during the interview process - Only 2 weeks paid vacation per year during first 2 years of employment - Dogs all over the office - if you don't like hearing/seeing/smelling other people's dogs all day, you'll be miserable
