Pros

Free breakfast, great non-legal staff, good title given by its US branch.

Cons

Culture in the Melbourne team is extremely toxic, especially in the corporate team. Budgets cuts going on, not much work and people leaving constantly. They can't even retain their graduates. They'll give you a terrible time if you refuse to fit into their toxic social standards.

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.
