Pros

Flexible schedule and tons of overtime, offices word wide, generous maternity leave and insurance. Some very smart partners. Beautiful offices. Typical Silicon Valley high tech firm but more international.

Cons

Difficult to get promoted, many come and go, several strong personalities, not many forms and not much training provided but this forces you to learn quickly on your own and build your teams.

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.
