Pros

Big growth plans, and very well defined specialties. The firm has a great brand and is very well know in the marketplace.

Cons

The department I worked in felt seperate from the firm overall, but I only worked there for a short time. The position I was hired for accomplished our goals quicker than expected

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.
