Nice but eh

Associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office. Defense Partners are chill (for the most part). Good work-life balanace. Pretty laxed work environment if you hit your hours and get your work done (well).

Cons

Billing difficult to hit. Partners don't support. Hybrid schedule makes it hard for you to make connections with other people. You often feel like you're alone. If you decide to go into office maybe this changes - but still hard to keep track of folks. Have to deal with carrier appeals. Tech is unbearable to use.
