Pros

I work with a very talented group with great leadership. We work pretty seamlessly across several offices in the U.S. and even internationally. For the most part, everyone I've worked with, in any office, has been a really good colleague.

Cons

Sometimes you miss the face-to-face interactions if your case is staffed from all over the place. Also, the IT infrastructure -- while good compared to peer law firms -- still seems a few years behind the rest of the business world. Bonuses seem to trail peer firms.

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.
