Pros

For those who are good at negotiating salaries, there is the appeal of a more than average paycheck. They will also promise you the world to get you to sign. Beware, if it's not in your contract, you have been duped.

Cons

It is the absolute worst place I have ever worked at. In my 20 year career I have never seen people treated as poorly as they are at DLA Piper.

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.
