Pros

Opportunities for international secondments do exist, particularly at solicitor/associate level.

Cons

Same as every other big law firm - low pay initially, some partners with next to no management/interpersonal skills or values. Not as much training as there should be at graduate level.

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.
