Pros

Good working environment, friendly colleagues and partners. Good deals to learn from and senior management is generally aware of when additional support is required.

Cons

The only issue is that when the department is busy, you are in for late nights. Most certainly if a number of deals are on at the same time.

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.
