Pros

International network Generous food and drinks

Cons

Not a very good working culture, people are not approachable Some seniors really have a chip on their shoulder, one called in sick but asked the grad on the phone what color of hair she should be dying, whilst dumping all the work to the clerk with little guidance. One took a year to say hi to a grad in the same team

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.
